Backups 0 21 74 2011-04-07T02:09:25Z Executive 1 Created page with "It is crucial to make regular backups, in case of loss of the primary data source. Data loss could be due to data corruption, hard drive failure, damage due to disaster or theft,..." wikitext text/x-wiki It is crucial to make regular backups, in case of loss of the primary data source. Data loss could be due to data corruption, hard drive failure, damage due to disaster or theft, etc. It is recommended to speak with your hardware supplier for further information on instituting a reliable method of backing up your data. ==Files== * The ExecutiveData.mdb file (generally in the server's shared folder) '''must''' be backed up regularly (see below for more suggestions). This file contains all program data, and cannot be replaced in case of data corruption or loss without a usable backup. * The Images folder (generally in the server's shared folder) should be backed up occasionally, to ensure that if loss occurs, only a limited amount of images will need to be retaken. * The ExecutiveSetup.mdb file (generally in the server's shared folder) should be backed up when setup details are changed. It holds a small amount of customized setup data, but could be replaced with a default copy if absolutely necessary. * Other Executive files, such as the front ends and system images can be replaced in case of loss, but can be backed up if possible to ensure the system can be quickly restored. ==Onsite and Offsite Backups== Backups should be regularly stored both onsite and offsite, in case of loss at one location. Offsite backups could be in the form of an online backup, or a physical backup that is taken offsite. ==Automation== Backups should be automated, to ensure that it is done regularly. Both automated scripts and software solutions can be used to automate backups. ==Redundancy== Making backups using multiple methods ensures that you are prepared in case of failure by one method. This could include backing up to both an external hard drive as well as a tape drive, or simply using a USB flash drive for a weekly backup in conjunction with your regular method. ==Timing== It is best to schedule backups regularly, and to back up data when it is not being used (such as at night). It's also recommended to keep multiple backups, just in case of data corruption that is not immediately identified. ===Backup Schedule=== * Monday-Friday should each have their own backup folder/tape, in case you need to restore from a few days ago due to corruption issues. Overwriting the same file daily is not recommended, it's best to cycle daily backups each week to ensure a week's worth of separate backups are retained. Daily backups could include as little as only the ExecutiveData.mdb file. * Monthly backups could be used to create full snapshots, with both the ExecutiveData.mdb, ExecutiveSetup.mdb, and Images folders being backed up. ===Examples=== There are many possible configurations, using a variety of methods. Below are examples of two popular methods, and schedules for creating redundant, automated backups with offsite capabilities. ====Tape Backup==== * If using tape backups, have 7 tapes. Use 1 as a monthly, use the 5 as Monday-Friday. Use the additional tape as a Swap for the Thursday tape. Each Friday, bring in the offsite Thursday tape, and swap it for the current Thursday tape, keeping the other Thursday tape offsite until swapping it again the next week. ====Flash Drive/External Hard Drive==== * If using flash drives/external hard drives, have 3. Alternate 2 as daily backups, and keep the extra one offsite. Swap the offsite with Thursday's backup every Friday, so that one is always offsite. Try to alternate each day, so that each drive is used evenly. * Backups could be stored in M-F folders, so that each flash drive/external hard drive would have a full weekly backup, further increasing redundancy. ** For example, have HD's 1, 2, and 3. ** Week A, HD3 will be offsite. Use HD1 M,W,F. Use HD2 T,TH. On Friday, bring in HD3 and take HD2 offsite. ** Week B, HD2 will be offsite. Use HD3 M,W,F. Use HD1 T,TH. On Friday, bring in HD2 and take HD1 offsite. ** Week C, HD1 will be offsite. Use HD2 M,W,F. Use HD3 T,TH. On Friday, bring in HD1 and take HD3 offsite.

They can just be re-labeled fHST and pHST.}} Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) will be coming into effect in Ontario and British Columbia as of July 1, 2010. To help ensure a seamless transition from GST/PST to the combined HST, here are a few things to be aware of regarding HST in Executive. ==Setting up HST in Executive using Tax 3== To set up HST, go to Maintenance-System-Tax Setup-Taxes. We recommend making Tax 1 (PST) and Tax 2 (GST) Inactive, and setting Tax 3 to HST with the correct rate (13% for Ontario, 12% for British Columbia). This allows you to make GST active as Tax 2 if necessary (for example: sales to provinces not covered by HST, if applicable). {{warn|The tips below assume that you are using Tax 3 for HST. If you instead change Tax 1 to HST instead of PST, any Returns/Reports mentioned below that still reference the original PST rates will be adversely affected, as some PST transactions will be mixed in the the HST transactions in the Daily Tax Report #10 that could cause confusion, and may cause PST to be calculated with the wrong rate.}} ===Layaways=== Executive will keep the original GST/PST rates from the time of layaway creation. Since layaways do not become final, taxable sales until they are fully paid, any layaways that were created before July 1, 2010 may need to be returned on June 30, 2010 and reissued on July 1, 2010 using HST as the sole tax. {{note|Please consult your accountant or tax authority if you have any questions regarding taxation on partially paid layaways, or on any items that were not taxed with both GST and PST to see how they should be reissued with HST.}} ===Returns=== Executive will keep the original GST/PST rates from the time of the original sale as part of the return. When you are returning the item on or after July 1, 2010 that was purchased before July 1, 2010, the HST box will not be checked off and the PST/GST boxes will not be visible but are still checked off (as evidence by the subtotal/total). The Daily Report #10 will work much the same, with the Total reflecting the GST/PST for that day, but with only the HST column visible on the report as it is the only active tax. If you need to see the GST/PST columns instead of just the totals, you could make those taxes active temporarily for the purpose of running the report. ===Product Default Taxes=== By default, new products are assigned the active taxes at the time of creation. Since you will be using Tax 3 for HST, this was not active when the items were created, and therefore will not be applied to each item by default. {{info|We provided an update utility that you can download and run to update your product taxes.

Compacting Data 0 20 124 73 2011-04-07T14:56:15Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki Your data file needs to be compacted daily to reduce the risk of corrupted data. * To open ExecutiveMaintenance, double click on the icon, Press OK. * Click on the Compact Data button. * Keep the program open until you see a message pop up saying Compact Complete. ** '''If an error message is shown, the data file may be corrupt and needs to be repaired before use. Continuing to use a damaged file can lead to data loss and compound the damage. Please restore from your latest clean backup (ensure that the backup compacts fine before using it)''' * Press OK on the message. * Exit the Executive Maintenance program by clicking on the X in the top right corner. A message will pop up asking "Are you sure you want to Quit?" Click Yes to exit or No to continue using the program. ==Linking to the Data File== To configure Executive Maintenance to compact the data file, click File Location. Under Data, choose the path of the ExecutiveData.mdb file. Exit and compact to confirm the path is correct. If you do not have an operational Executive Maintenance program, please see the [[Downloads]] page. Once it is downloaded, follow the above instructions for linking to the data. Executive Maintenance is only used in the 07 and 08 versions, so if you are on an older version, you can find a compacting shortcut as part of your original installation. Hardware 0 52 125 2011-04-07T15:05:42Z Executive 1 Created page with "==Required Hardware== To use the basic functionality of the software, a tag printer, tags, receipt printer, and workstation is required. ===Operating Systems=== The [[2007 Versi..." wikitext text/x-wiki ==Required Hardware== To use the basic functionality of the software, a tag printer, tags, receipt printer, and workstation is required. ===Operating Systems=== The [[2007 Version|Versions#2007 Version]] is only directly supported on Windows XP, as it is run from the Program Files folder (which has been changed in newer releases). It ''can'' be modified to work on Windows Vista and 7 by moving all .mdb files from C:/Program Files/Executive to C:/Executive. The [[2008 Version|Versions#2008 Version]] is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and 7. It is compatible with both 32 bit and 64 bit machines, with the only difference being that MS Access is installed in the ''Program Files (x86)'' folder instead of the ''Program Files'' folder, so the shortcuts and Report Startup need to be adjusted accordingly. ===Hardware Requirements=== Requirements for hardware are minimal, although obviously higher specifications will produce better results. Monitor Resolution - 1024 x 768 or higher Processor - Pentium III or higher RAM - 512MB or higher Hard Drive - 20GB or higher Network - Wired Ethernet (not Wireless) Operating System - Windows XP or newer. Installation and paths differ on Vista/7, as well as 32 vs 64 bit. ===Network=== Wired network is required, as wireless networks are generally less reliable and slower. Due to the increased chance of data corruption due to network droppage, any wireless network usage is discouraged with Executive in a peer to peer setup. If using Terminal Services or Citrix Metaframe to run Executive remotely, wireless connections may be used because data loss is generally protected by the remote access application, and all Executive data remains on the server since it is being accessed remotely. ===Backups=== A backup solution in the form of an external hard drive, USB flash drive, tape backup system, or other backup software is highly recommended. Please see [[Backups]] for more details. ===Tag Printers=== A tag printer is used to print barcode tags generated for inventory items. There are many printers on the market, but only the following models are supported for use with Executive (any others are use at your own risk, as they are unsupported). ====Citizen CLP621==== Please see the [[Citizen CLP621]] product page for information on setup and troubleshooting. They can be purchased from [[http://www.kassoy.com/citizen-tt-desk-top_printer.html|Kassoy]], and more information can be found at the [[http://www.citizen-systems.com/product.aspx?id=25|Citizen Website]]. Both [[Hardware#304 Tags|304 Style Tags]] and [[Hardware#306 Tags|306 Style Tags]] are compatible with this printer, although 304 Style is recommended. _This printer is the recommended option for anyone purchasing a new tag printer for the first time (otherwise, it's recommended to stick with the model you currently have if you are happy with it)._ ====Zebra TLP2844==== Please see the [[Zebra TLP2844]] product page for information on setup and troubleshooting. They can be purchased from [[http://www.kassoy.com/zebra-tlp2844-thermal-transfer_printers.html|Kassoy]], and more information can be found at the [[http://www.zebra.com/id/zebra/na/en/index/products/printers/desktop/tlp2844.html|Zebra Website]]. Only [[Hardware#304 Tags|304 Style Tags]] are compatible with this printer. ====Datamax E4203==== Please see the [[Datamax E4203]] product page for information on setup and troubleshooting. They can be purchased from [[http://www.kassoy.com/datamax-tt_printer.html|Kassoy]], and more information can be found at the [[http://www.datamaxcorp.com/products/e-class/features/|Datamax Website]]. Only [[Hardware#304 Tags|304 Style Tags]] are compatible with this printer. ===Supported Tags=== Only the following styles of barcode tags are supported. ====304 Tags==== !tag304.PNG! EZU304WT thermal transfer rattail tags can be purchased from [[http://www.kassoy.com/304-thermal-transfer-rat-tail-tags.html|Kassoy]]. These tags are compatible with all 3 supported printers. ====306 Tags==== !tag306.PNG! EZU306WT thermal transfer rattail tags can be purchased from [[http://www.kassoy.com/306-thermal-transfer-upc-rat-tail-tags.html|Kassoy]]. These tags are only compatible with Citizen Printers. ===Tag Printer Ribbon=== [[http://www.kassoy.com/110-mm-resin-ribbon.html|110mm Ribbon]] is required due to the width of the labels. Be sure to use the appropriate printer specific ribbon. ===Receipt Printers=== ====Standard 8.5"x11"==== To print reports, a standard 8.5"x11" laser or inkjet printer is required. If using an inkjet, ensure it is able to print 0.25" margins. If you choose to print full page receipts, these can also be printed on a standard printer with 8.5"x11" paper. See Maintenance->System->Receipts to choose printing options. ====Epson TMT88IV Series==== If you choose to print 3" receipts, the Epson TMT88 Series is recommended (latest model is TMT88IV, past models were TMT88II and TMT88III). Please see the [[Epson TM-T88IV]] product page for more information. ==Optional Hardware== Other hardware may be used in conjunction with the system, such as bar code scanners, cash drawers, card scanners, and touch screen POS screens. ===Bar Code Scanner=== Bar code scanners are generally compatible, portable models must be able to store scans in CSV format, while wired models should be able to scan the barcode into Windows Notepad as a test. Recommended Models include: * Metrologic MS9500 Voyager - Wired * Unitech Hornet 630 - Portable Scanner Reference Manuals * Metrologic MS9540 [[File:Metrologic Barcode Scanner MS9540_Manual.pdf|User Manua]] * Unitech Hornet 630 [[File:Hornet Scanner Manual.pdf|Executive Manual Excerpt]] | [[File:Unitech PT630 Hornet User Manual.pdf|User Manual]] * Symbol LS4071 [[File:Symbol 4071 Barcode Scanner Manual.pdf|User Manual]] ===Cash Drawers=== Currently Executive does not natively support cash drawer functionality. Cash Drawers can also be triggered by the Epson TM-T88 series Receipt Printer, so please contact your hardware supplier for further information. ===Card Scanners=== Currently Executive does not natively support card scanners (for integrated Credit Card, Gift Card, or Debit Card scanning). 3rd Party software can be used, but this functionality is not integrated directly with Executive at this time. ===Camera=== For attaching images to inventory items or job bags, a camera is required. Camera options include anything from basic digital cameras to advanced jewellery imaging systems, since the camera system is not directly integrated with Executive. Images taken with the camera are simply stored in the Executive Images folder in a suitable image format and named according to SKU. Please see [[Images#Attaching Images|Images]] for more information on Attaching Images. ===Touch Screen POS=== Executive is not specifically designed for use with touch screen POS systems, so a keyboard is still required for text entry. Although the interface is not optimized for touch screen usability, menus and forms can be navigated using touch screen as a replacement for the mouse. 146 125 2011-04-07T17:04:01Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki ==Required Hardware== To use the basic functionality of the software, a tag printer, tags, receipt printer, and workstation is required. ===Operating Systems=== The [[2007 Version|Versions#2007 Version]] is only directly supported on Windows XP, as it is run from the Program Files folder (which has been changed in newer releases).

Only [[Hardware#304 Tags|304 Style Tags]] are compatible with this printer. ====Datamax E4203==== Please see the [[Datamax E4203]] product page for information on setup and troubleshooting. They can be purchased from [http://www.kassoy.com/datamax-tt_printer.html Kassoy], and more information can be found at the [http://www.datamaxcorp.com/products/e-class/features/ Datamax Website]. Only [[Hardware#304 Tags|304 Style Tags]] are compatible with this printer. ===Supported Tags=== Only the following styles of barcode tags are supported. ====304 Tags==== !tag304.PNG! EZU304WT thermal transfer rattail tags can be purchased from [http://www.kassoy.com/304-thermal-transfer-rat-tail-tags.html Kassoy]. These tags are compatible with all 3 supported printers. ====306 Tags==== !tag306.PNG! EZU306WT thermal transfer rattail tags can be purchased from [http://www.kassoy.com/306-thermal-transfer-upc-rat-tail-tags.html Kassoy]. These tags are only compatible with Citizen Printers. ===Tag Printer Ribbon=== [http://www.kassoy.com/110-mm-resin-ribbon.html 110mm Ribbon] is required due to the width of the labels. Be sure to use the appropriate printer specific ribbon. ===Receipt Printers=== ====Standard 8.5"x11"==== To print reports, a standard 8.5"x11" laser or inkjet printer is required. If using an inkjet, ensure it is able to print 0.25" margins. If you choose to print full page receipts, these can also be printed on a standard printer with 8.5"x11" paper. See Maintenance->System->Receipts to choose printing options. ====Epson TMT88IV Series==== If you choose to print 3" receipts, the Epson TMT88 Series is recommended (latest model is TMT88IV, past models were TMT88II and TMT88III). Please see the [[Epson TM-T88IV]] product page for more information. ==Optional Hardware== Other hardware may be used in conjunction with the system, such as bar code scanners, cash drawers, card scanners, and touch screen POS screens. ===Bar Code Scanner=== Bar code scanners are generally compatible, portable models must be able to store scans in CSV format, while wired models should be able to scan the barcode into Windows Notepad as a test. Recommended Models include: * Metrologic MS9500 Voyager - Wired * Unitech Hornet 630 - Portable Scanner Reference Manuals * Metrologic MS9540 [[File:Metrologic Barcode Scanner MS9540_Manual.pdf|User Manua]] * Unitech Hornet 630 [[File:Hornet Scanner Manual.pdf|Executive Manual Excerpt]] | [[File:Unitech PT630 Hornet User Manual.pdf|User Manual]] * Symbol LS4071 [[File:Symbol 4071 Barcode Scanner Manual.pdf|User Manual]] ===Cash Drawers=== Currently Executive does not natively support cash drawer functionality. Cash Drawers can also be triggered by the Epson TM-T88 series Receipt Printer, so please contact your hardware supplier for further information. ===Card Scanners=== Currently Executive does not natively support card scanners (for integrated Credit Card, Gift Card, or Debit Card scanning). 3rd Party software can be used, but this functionality is not integrated directly with Executive at this time. ===Camera=== For attaching images to inventory items or job bags, a camera is required. Camera options include anything from basic digital cameras to advanced jewellery imaging systems, since the camera system is not directly integrated with Executive. Images taken with the camera are simply stored in the Executive Images folder in a suitable image format and named according to SKU. Please see [[Images#Attaching Images|Images]] for more information on Attaching Images. ===Touch Screen POS=== Executive is not specifically designed for use with touch screen POS systems, so a keyboard is still required for text entry. Although the interface is not optimized for touch screen usability, menus and forms can be navigated using touch screen as a replacement for the mouse.

See [[Tags#Printer Mapping to USB|Printer Mapping to USB]] for more details. ===Error 53=== Error 53 - File not found. ====Tag Printing==== When using EXE tags, the print job is sent directly to the LPT1 port. If using a printer on a different port such as USB, the printer needs to be shared and mapped to the LPT1 port. Once mapped, it will now accept traffic from the LPT1 port. See [[Tags#Printer Mapping to USB|Printer Mapping to USB]] for more details. ====File Browser==== When trying to use the file browser to add images or link data paths, the workstation needs to have MemCpy.dll installed to use the file browse buttons. To fix this, copy [[File:MemCpy.dll]] and paste it in your C:/Windows/System32 folder. This will need to be done on all computers experiencing the issue. For 64 bit machines, put it in the C:/Windows/SysWOW64 folder as well. ===Error 75=== Error 75 - Path/File Access Error Tag Printing Path Issue, see [[Tags#Printer Mapping to USB|Printer Mapping to USB]] for more details. ===Error 76=== Error 76 - Path Not Found ====Opening Reports==== The reports startup is incorrect.

It may point to a component of Access that has been modified, such as by installing Office 2007 over top of Access 2003 Runtime. Try the code below if it's believe to be a registry issue, if not, try using the [[Downloads#MS Access 2007 Runtime|Access 2007 Runtime]] instead as it may not have the same registry issues. {code}regsvr32 scrrun.dll regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO350.dll" regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO360.dll"{code} ===Error 2001=== Error 2001 - The previous operation was cancelled The ReportsExportPath column is missing in the setup file. This error generally comes up when trying to open reports. Find a correct setup file on a workstation that doesn't have this error, and then replace problematic setup file to resolve the issue. ===Error 2046=== Error 2046 - The command or action 'save record' isn't available now. This is generally given after a message that a Job Bag is locked by a user/computer. To unlock the Job Bag, reopen and close it from that user/computer, then retry from the initial workstation. ===Error 2114=== Error 2114 - Error 2114: Microsoft Access doesn't support the format of the file "filename", so it can't load the picture. The Microsoft Graphic Filters are required to view images in MS Access. If the workstation doesn't have Microsoft Office installed, the Graphic Filters need to be installed manually, see [[Downloads#Graphic Filters|Downloads]] for more information. ===Error 3027=== Error 3027 - Cannot update. Database or object is read only. The file in use is being restricted to Read Only, but requires Read/Write permissions. Grant 'Everyone' Read/Write Access on this file (for example, ExecutiveReports.mdb), and reopen the file to ensure permissions are now correct. ===Error 3043=== Error 3043 - Disk or Network Error The network connection or drive mapping is not finding the data file on startup. Try going to Computer (My Computer in XP), locating the mapped network drive, and double clicking it. * If it connects without issue, try opening Executive again, as the connection should be restored * If it fails, the server may not be turned on or something may be preventing connection such as a permissions issue * If the mapped network drive isn't showing up, it will need to be remapped. See [[Mapping Network Drives]] for more information. Go to Maintenance->System->Link Data and ensure that the paths are all correct, as they must be pointing at valid files. ===Error 3044=== Error 3044 - Item isn't a valid path The network path is not finding the desired file. Refer to [[Errors#Error 3043|Error 3043]]. ===Error 3051=== Error 3051 - The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file (name). It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data. ====Compacting Data==== During data compacting, this means that the file is open on another workstation. Since compacting the data requires everyone to be out of the database, the other workstation must exit Executive before compacting the data. Log everyone off and try again. ====On Startup==== On startup, this error warns that permissions are not set up correctly. * Try logging onto Windows as Administrator. If the error doesn't appear, it is due to a user permissions issue. * Ensure that the local Executive folder allows full read/write access to Everyone. * Ensure that the server's shared folder allows full read/write access to Everyone for Executive files. For more information, see [[Mapping Network Drives#Sharing Server Folder|Mapping Network Drives]] ===Error 3075=== Error 3075 - Syntax error (name) in query expression ===Error 3086=== Error 3086 - Could not delete from specified tables When encountered during startup, it generally points to a permissions issue, refer to [[Downloads#Error 3043|Error 3043]]. Once everything is set up properly, relink the data and restart Executive. ===Error 3343=== Error 3343 - Unrecognized Database Format When opening Executive, this error warns that the database may be badly corrupted. Backup your file and compact it, to confirm the corruption. Restore from your latest clean backup, as the file likely cannot be repaired. This is typically caused when the Jet database engine was improperly shut down during the process of writing to disk, such as the program being shut down unexpectedly, power loss, or network loss. ==Other Issues== ===Desktop Shortcut not working=== If the desktop shortcut to open Executive isn't working, Right Click it and Click Properties. Find the Target field. May need to scroll left and right to read the entire thing.

Common uses are to share the server folder containing the ExecutiveData.mdb file, as well as sharing the Images folder. ==Sharing Server Folder== To share the Server's Executive folder (the folder that contains ExecutiveData.mdb, default is C:\Executive\Server): * Navigate to Server's Executive folder, right click on the Server folder and click Properties. * Click the Sharing tab, and share this folder as ''server''. * Under Permissions share this folder with ''Everyone'' with ''Full Control''. ==Mapping Drives on Workstation== To map from a workstation to the Server's shared Executive folder (default drive mapping is X:\) * From the workstation, Right click on Computer (My Computer in XP) and click Map Network Drive. * Choose the X:\ drive, and browse to find the server folder on the server. The path should be similar to //servername/server * You can either browse for the correct server and shared folder, or you can enter it manually. ** To enter it manually, type: '''\\SERVERNAME\SHAREDFOLDER''' using the mapping information from the old workstation. ** For Example, if the old workstation said '''Executive on Server1 (X:\)''', you would type '''\\Server1\Executive''' [[File:Mapdrive.PNG]] * Clicking finish should bring up the folder X:\, which should have the ExecutiveData.mdb file (as well as ExecutiveSetup, ToLocation files, Images and MC08Client.exe on new installs) inside.

It ''can'' be modified to work on Windows Vista and 7 by moving all .mdb files from C:/Program Files/Executive to C:/Executive. The [[Versions#2008 Version|2008 Version]] is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and 7. It is compatible with both 32 bit and 64 bit machines, with the only difference being that MS Access is installed in the ''Program Files (x86)'' folder instead of the ''Program Files'' folder, so the shortcuts and Report Startup need to be adjusted accordingly. ===Hardware Requirements=== Requirements for hardware are minimal, although obviously higher specifications will produce better results. Monitor Resolution - 1024 x 768 or higher Processor - Pentium III or higher RAM - 512MB or higher Hard Drive - 20GB or higher Network - Wired Ethernet (not Wireless) Operating System - Windows XP or newer. Installation and paths differ on Vista/7, as well as 32 vs 64 bit. ===Network=== Wired network is required, as wireless networks are generally less reliable and slower. Due to the increased chance of data corruption due to network droppage, any wireless network usage is discouraged with Executive in a peer to peer setup. If using Terminal Services or Citrix Metaframe to run Executive remotely, wireless connections may be used because data loss is generally protected by the remote access application, and all Executive data remains on the server since it is being accessed remotely. ===Backups=== A backup solution in the form of an external hard drive, USB flash drive, tape backup system, or other backup software is highly recommended. Please see [[Backups]] for more details. ===Tag Printers=== A tag printer is used to print barcode tags generated for inventory items. There are many printers on the market, but only the following models are supported for use with Executive (any others are use at your own risk, as they are unsupported). ====Citizen CLP621==== Please see the [[Citizen CLP621]] product page for information on setup and troubleshooting. They can be purchased from [http://www.kassoy.com/citizen-tt-desk-top_printer.html Kassoy], and more information can be found at the [http://www.citizen-systems.com/product.aspx?id=25 Citizen Website]. Both [[Hardware#304 Tags|304 Style Tags]] and [[Hardware#306 Tags|306 Style Tags]] are compatible with this printer, although 304 Style is recommended. _This printer is the recommended option for anyone purchasing a new tag printer for the first time (otherwise, it's recommended to stick with the model you currently have if you are happy with it)._ ====Zebra TLP2844==== Please see the [[Zebra TLP2844]] product page for information on setup and troubleshooting. They can be purchased from [http://www.kassoy.com/zebra-tlp2844-thermal-transfer_printers.html Kassoy], and more information can be found at the [http://www.zebra.com/id/zebra/na/en/index/products/printers/desktop/tlp2844.html Zebra Website].

These tags are only compatible with Citizen Printers. ===Tag Printer Ribbon=== [http://www.kassoy.com/110-mm-resin-ribbon.html 110mm Ribbon] is required due to the width of the labels. Be sure to use the appropriate printer specific ribbon. ===Receipt Printers=== ====Standard 8.5"x11"==== To print reports, a standard 8.5"x11" laser or inkjet printer is required. If using an inkjet, ensure it is able to print 0.25" margins. If you choose to print full page receipts, these can also be printed on a standard printer with 8.5"x11" paper. See Maintenance->System->Receipts to choose printing options. ====Epson TMT88IV Series==== If you choose to print 3" receipts, the Epson TMT88 Series is recommended (latest model is TMT88IV, past models were TMT88II and TMT88III). Please see the [[Epson TM-T88IV]] product page for more information. ==Optional Hardware== Other hardware may be used in conjunction with the system, such as bar code scanners, cash drawers, card scanners, and touch screen POS screens. ===Bar Code Scanner=== Bar code scanners are generally compatible, portable models must be able to store scans in CSV format, while wired models should be able to scan the barcode into Windows Notepad as a test. Recommended Models include: * Metrologic MS9500 Voyager - Wired * Unitech Hornet 630 - Portable Scanner Reference Manuals * Metrologic MS9540 [[File:Metrologic Barcode Scanner MS9540_Manual.pdf|User Manua]] * Unitech Hornet 630 [[File:Hornet Scanner Manual.pdf|Executive Manual Excerpt]] | [[File:Unitech PT630 Hornet User Manual.pdf|User Manual]] * Symbol LS4071 [[File:Symbol 4071 Barcode Scanner Manual.pdf|User Manual]] ===Cash Drawers=== Currently Executive does not natively support cash drawer functionality. Cash Drawers can also be triggered by the Epson TM-T88 series Receipt Printer, so please contact your hardware supplier for further information. ===Card Scanners=== Currently Executive does not natively support card scanners (for integrated Credit Card, Gift Card, or Debit Card scanning). 3rd Party software can be used, but this functionality is not integrated directly with Executive at this time. ===Camera=== For attaching images to inventory items or job bags, a camera is required. Camera options include anything from basic digital cameras to advanced jewellery imaging systems, since the camera system is not directly integrated with Executive. Images taken with the camera are simply stored in the Executive Images folder in a suitable image format and named according to SKU. Please see [[Images#Attaching Images|Images]] for more information on Attaching Images. ===Touch Screen POS=== Executive is not specifically designed for use with touch screen POS systems, so a keyboard is still required for text entry. Although the interface is not optimized for touch screen usability, menus and forms can be navigated using touch screen as a replacement for the mouse. 183 182 2011-04-07T18:47:49Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki ==Required Hardware== To use the basic functionality of the software, a tag printer, tags, receipt printer, and workstation is required. ===Operating Systems=== The [[Versions#2007 Version|2007 Version]] is only directly supported on Windows XP, as it is run from the Program Files folder (which has been changed in newer releases).

It will then print dump info, press feed to exit dump mode). The dump should have a value for 'q' (width) and 'Q' (height,offset). The Q should be set via AutoSense gap sensing (approx 315, can be set similarly to q), q should be 832. If it is lower, such as 408, it needs to be reset. To set q to proper value of 832, follow these steps: * Start->Printers and Faxes * Right click the Zebra2844 (installed using Universal driver ZUD) and click properties * Go to the Printer tab, expand the advanced line, click tools, then click the tools button * In the 'Direct Command for Printer' box, type 'q832' and press send. The printer should be shown briefly in the system tray as the command is sent. * Press OK and exit the printer settings. * Try an AutoSense dump (being sure to hit feed after to exit the dump mode) * It may not be readable on the left side, which means it should be set properly. * Try printing through Executive. Contact Zebra support if you have any issues. ===Printing blank tags=== Tags are printing, but a blank page is being inserted between labels. This is often an issue with the Height of the tags or with the label sensor, and can happen when a new roll of tags is added. [[Zebra TLP2844#Recalibration (Autosense Dump)|Recalibration]] should fix this. ===Recalibration (Autosense Dump)=== To Recalibrate the printer, turn off the power, hold down the feed button, and turn on the printer. After 1 flash of the feed light, release the feed button. It will then perform diagnostics, sense the label height and gaps, as well as print out a dump page of hardware settings. Once completed, press the feed button to exit dump mode. {{info|If this doesn't recalibrate properly, size and gaps can be set manually, see [[Zebra TLP2844#Tag Printing Down the Middle|Tags Printing Down the Middle]].}} File:EPL2 Manual.pdf 6 92 195 2011-04-07T22:22:05Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki File:Setup ZSU 100557.exe 6 93 196 2011-04-07T22:22:05Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki File:Tlp2844 manual.pdf 6 94 197 2011-04-07T22:22:06Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki File:Tlp2844.jpg 6 95 198 2011-04-07T22:22:06Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki File:ZD1510Certified.exe 6 96 199 2011-04-07T22:22:06Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki File:ZUD55725.exe 6 97 200 2011-04-07T22:22:07Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki File:TMT88IV CW.jpg 6 99 203 2011-04-08T18:49:59Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki File:Epson TMT88IV Driver.exe 6 100 206 2011-04-08T18:52:50Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki Versions 0 101 207 2011-04-08T19:12:38Z Executive 1 Created page with "==Versions== ===2008 Release=== The 2008 Version is the current release, and is compatible with XP, Vista, and Windows 7 on both 32 and 64 bit machines.

They can just be re-labeled fHST and pHST.}} Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) will be coming into effect in Ontario and British Columbia as of July 1, 2010. To help ensure a seamless transition from GST/PST to the combined HST, here are a few things to be aware of regarding HST in Executive. ==Setting up HST in Executive using Tax 3== To set up HST, go to Maintenance-System-Tax Setup-Taxes. We recommend making Tax 1 (PST) and Tax 2 (GST) Inactive, and setting Tax 3 to HST with the correct rate (13% for Ontario, 12% for British Columbia). This allows you to make GST active as Tax 2 if necessary (for example: sales to provinces not covered by HST, if applicable). {{warn|The tips below assume that you are using Tax 3 for HST. If you instead change Tax 1 to HST instead of PST, any Returns/Reports mentioned below that still reference the original PST rates will be adversely affected, as some PST transactions will be mixed in the the HST transactions in the Daily Tax Report #10 that could cause confusion, and may cause PST to be calculated with the wrong rate.}} ===Layaways=== Executive will keep the original GST/PST rates from the time of layaway creation. Since layaways do not become final, taxable sales until they are fully paid, any layaways that were created before July 1, 2010 may need to be returned on June 30, 2010 and reissued on July 1, 2010 using HST as the sole tax. {{note|Please consult your accountant or tax authority if you have any questions regarding taxation on partially paid layaways, or on any items that were not taxed with both GST and PST to see how they should be reissued with HST.}} ===Returns=== Executive will keep the original GST/PST rates from the time of the original sale as part of the return. When you are returning the item on or after July 1, 2010 that was purchased before July 1, 2010, the HST box will not be checked off and the PST/GST boxes will not be visible but are still checked off (as evidence by the subtotal/total). The Daily Report #10 will work much the same, with the Total reflecting the GST/PST for that day, but with only the HST column visible on the report as it is the only active tax. If you need to see the GST/PST columns instead of just the totals, you could make those taxes active temporarily for the purpose of running the report. ===Product Default Taxes=== By default, new products are assigned the active taxes at the time of creation. Since you will be using Tax 3 for HST, this was not active when the items were created, and therefore will not be applied to each item by default. {{info|We provided the [[HST Update Utility]] that you can download and run to update your product taxes. This was made available to download before June 30th, 2010, and details were sent out on that date regarding download links and usage.}} ===Service Tax=== To apply HST to various Services, you can go to Maintenance-System-Tax Setup-Service Tax Setup and assign HST to Labour/Materials based on Service Department. GST/PST settings will not be carried over to HST, so HST is not assigned to services until this is completed. ===Tax Exemptions=== If any customer profiles need to be marked as HST Exempt, this can be done from the customer profile the same way that it worked with GST/PST. {{note|Past GST/PST Exemptions may work differently with HST, so please consult your accountant or a tax authority for further details on exemptions.}} ===Multiple Location Stores=== If your store has more than one location, you will need to update the taxes at Maintenance-System-Tax Setup in each location. Service Taxes will also need to be redone in each location. The Product Default Taxes will only need to be updated in the first store, and changes will be applied to additional locations during regular importing/exporting (so you should do an import/export after updating to ensure the other stores are updated as well). {{note|If your store has multiple locations, but they are not connected via importing/exporting, they are considered individual stores and will need to be updated individually.}} {{warn|We provide this document for information purposes only, as we are not tax professionals. Please refer to your accountant or tax authority for complete rules and guidelines for HST in your province.}} HST Update Utility 0 121 232 2011-04-08T23:57:33Z Executive 1 Created page with "Executive's HST Product Update Utility has been updated to also update taxes on Special Orders. The Customer Tax Exemption report has also been updated to include HST Exemptions...." wikitext text/x-wiki Executive's HST Product Update Utility has been updated to also update taxes on Special Orders. The Customer Tax Exemption report has also been updated to include HST Exemptions. ==Outline== These instructions assume that you have already ran the previous update utility to change your Products from GST to HST, so the Product ''Apply'' button is not functional in this version. If you have not updated your Products yet, please contact us for the Product Update Utility Version 1. {{info|For stores with multiple locations, the Special Order update component of the utility must be run on each store's database separately.}} ==Download and Run the Utility== Download the utility: [File:HSTTaxSetup4.exe] * Click Save, and save it to your C:\Executive folder (or C:\Program Files\Executive folder if C:\Executive does not exist). * When the download is complete, double click the HSTTaxSetup4.exe file. * Press Install to extract and run the utility. ==Linking Data== You must link the utility to the ExecutiveData.mdb file (Multi-Stores link to the individual ExecutiveData.mdb files one at a time to perform updates on each). The linking process will be quicker if nobody is currently using Executive. ===Finding Your ExecutiveData.mdb File Path=== * Open Executive and navigate to Maintenance-System-Link Data. * Find the filepath on the right side ending with ''ExecutiveData.mdb'' (likely similar to X:\ExecutiveData.mdb) * Select this path, then right click and copy the text. * Close Executive and return to the Update Utility. [[File:Hst41.png]] Click on the Link button to bring up the file linking window. [[File:Hst42.png]] Remove the current C:\Executive\ExecutiveData.mdb path, and right click and paste in the new path. Click OK to link the data. {{info|If you are unable to link the data, double check that the path is correct and matches the ExecutiveData.mdb path in Executive.}} ==Updating Special Orders== The utility has been updated to change the taxes on existing special orders, as transferring old special orders to a sale may cause the old tax rates to be used. [[File:Hst43.png]] Using the drop down boxes, choose to Copy product tax setup from '''GST''' to '''HST'''. To perform the update, hit Apply on '''2b.Update Special Orders''' [[File:Hst44.png]] A confirmation box will pop up, outlining what is about to be modified. Click Yes to continue. [[File:Hst45.png]] The update process is generally very quick, so it may take as little as a few seconds. When the update is finished running, a confirmation box will pop up notifying you that it is Complete. Click OK to return to the utility. ===Customer Tax Exemptions Report=== Since there may be existing PST or HST tax exemptions for customers, a report is available to display these in list form. This list can be used when adding Customer HST Exemptions (where applicable). {{info|Exemption rules may have changed, so some PST/GST exempt customers may not be exempt from HST.

[[Category:Documentation]] Backups 0 21 250 74 2011-04-11T19:46:44Z 173.33.45.88 0 wikitext text/x-wiki It is crucial to make regular backups, in case of loss of the primary data source. Data loss could be due to data corruption, hard drive failure, damage due to disaster or theft, etc. It is recommended to speak with your hardware supplier for further information on instituting a reliable method of backing up your data. ==Files== * The ExecutiveData.mdb file (generally in the server's shared folder) '''must''' be backed up regularly (see below for more suggestions). This file contains all program data, and cannot be replaced in case of data corruption or loss without a usable backup. * The Images folder (generally in the server's shared folder) should be backed up occasionally, to ensure that if loss occurs, only a limited amount of images will need to be retaken. * The ExecutiveSetup.mdb file (generally in the server's shared folder) should be backed up when setup details are changed. It holds a small amount of customized setup data, but could be replaced with a default copy if absolutely necessary. * Other Executive files, such as the front ends and system images can be replaced in case of loss, but can be backed up if possible to ensure the system can be quickly restored. ==Onsite and Offsite Backups== Backups should be regularly stored both onsite and offsite, in case of loss at one location. Offsite backups could be in the form of an online backup, or a physical backup that is taken offsite. ==Automation== Backups should be automated, to ensure that it is done regularly. Both automated scripts and software solutions can be used to automate backups. ==Redundancy== Making backups using multiple methods ensures that you are prepared in case of failure by one method. This could include backing up to both an external hard drive as well as a tape drive, or simply using a USB flash drive for a weekly backup in conjunction with your regular method. ==Timing== It is best to schedule backups regularly, and to back up data when it is not being used (such as at night). It's also recommended to keep multiple backups, just in case of data corruption that is not immediately identified. ===Backup Schedule=== * Monday-Friday should each have their own backup folder/tape, in case you need to restore from a few days ago due to corruption issues. Overwriting the same file daily is not recommended, it's best to cycle daily backups each week to ensure a week's worth of separate backups are retained. Daily backups could include as little as only the ExecutiveData.mdb file. * Monthly backups could be used to create full snapshots, with both the ExecutiveData.mdb, ExecutiveSetup.mdb, and Images folders being backed up. ===Examples=== There are many possible configurations, using a variety of methods. Below are examples of two popular methods, and schedules for creating redundant, automated backups with offsite capabilities. ====Tape Backup==== * If using tape backups, have 7 tapes. Use 1 as a monthly, use the 5 as Monday-Friday. Use the additional tape as a Swap for the Thursday tape. Each Friday, bring in the offsite Thursday tape, and swap it for the current Thursday tape, keeping the other Thursday tape offsite until swapping it again the next week. ====Flash Drive/External Hard Drive==== * If using flash drives/external hard drives, have 3. Alternate 2 as daily backups, and keep the extra one offsite. Swap the offsite with Thursday's backup every Friday, so that one is always offsite. Try to alternate each day, so that each drive is used evenly. * Backups could be stored in M-F folders, so that each flash drive/external hard drive would have a full weekly backup, further increasing redundancy. ** For example, have HD's 1, 2, and 3. ** Week A, HD3 will be offsite.

A different receipt can be used for different Customer Types (in Customer Profile) if desired. ====Receipt Copies==== In Maintenance->System->Receipts->Receipt Copies, set the number of copies for each 3 Inch receipt. Choosing 2 for each receipt is a good starting point, and prints a customer and store copy. ====Specific Printer Setup==== In Maintenance->System->Receipts->Printer Setup->Specific Printer Setup, choose all 3 Inch Receipts as Reports on the left side. If they are not yet in the list, they can be added by choosing the blank row at the bottom and using the drop down to add each 3 Inch receipt.

[[Category:Hardware]] Errors 0 62 264 151 2011-04-11T20:01:06Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki ==General Errors== ===Error 52=== Error 52 - Bad file name or number Similar to Error 53, it generally occurs when using EXE tags as the print job is sent directly to the LPT1 port. If using a printer on a different port such as USB, the printer needs to be shared and mapped to the LPT1 port. Once mapped, it will now accept traffic from the LPT1 port. This error is caused by trying to send the print file directly to LPT1 when it is not available or disconnected. See [[Tags#Printer Mapping to USB|Printer Mapping to USB]] for more details. ===Error 53=== Error 53 - File not found. ====Tag Printing==== When using EXE tags, the print job is sent directly to the LPT1 port. If using a printer on a different port such as USB, the printer needs to be shared and mapped to the LPT1 port. Once mapped, it will now accept traffic from the LPT1 port. See [[Tags#Printer Mapping to USB|Printer Mapping to USB]] for more details. ====File Browser==== When trying to use the file browser to add images or link data paths, the workstation needs to have MemCpy.dll installed to use the file browse buttons. To fix this, copy [[File:MemCpy.dll]] and paste it in your C:/Windows/System32 folder. This will need to be done on all computers experiencing the issue. For 64 bit machines, put it in the C:/Windows/SysWOW64 folder as well. ===Error 75=== Error 75 - Path/File Access Error Tag Printing Path Issue, see [[Tags#Printer Mapping to USB|Printer Mapping to USB]] for more details. ===Error 76=== Error 76 - Path Not Found ====Opening Reports==== The reports startup is incorrect.

If printing something customer related, check the customer profile and ensure that the Customer Type is not blank. If it is blank, set it to Retail and try printing again. ===Error 429=== Error 429: ActiveX component can't create object This error can occur if one of the components needed by the program is not registered correctly or is missing. It may point to a component of Access that has been modified, such as by installing Office 2007 over top of Access 2003 Runtime. Try the code below if it's believe to be a registry issue, if not, try using the [[Downloads#MS Access 2007 Runtime|Access 2007 Runtime]] instead as it may not have the same registry issues. {{code|regsvr32 scrrun.dll <br>regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO350.dll" <br>regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO360.dll"}} ===Error 2001=== Error 2001 - The previous operation was cancelled The ReportsExportPath column is missing in the setup file.

[[Category:Troubleshooting]] Exporting Reports 0 24 265 84 2011-04-11T20:01:41Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki ==Report Types== There are 4 Exports available in Executive: * Customer * Top Customer * Sales * Inventory ===Export Steps=== To export a Customer List report (Sales, Inventory, and Top Customer reports follow the same procedure): * Go to Reports->Customer->Customer, and select your filtering criteria. * Choose option Export to Text File. ** (Note: Choosing the Export to Text File is it's own option, and is not used in conjunction with other reports) * Click on the Print icon in the bottom left corner, and it should alert you that a file has been exported to the specified location. By default, this file is saved in C:\Executive, and this one is named Customer.txt. * Open MS Excel, and choose open. * Navigate to the directory the file is saved in, choose to view files of type 'text' at the bottom of the file selection box, then select and open the text file. This will open up a wizard for importing text files to Excel. ** On the first screen, make sure 'Delimited' is selected and click next. ** On the second screen, check the box beside 'Comma' and click next. ** On the final screen, make sure the default column data format is 'General'. ** Click Finish, and your customers should be exported and properly formatted for Excel. * You can then go through and sort/edit this spreadsheet however you'd like. Make sure to save it as an Excel file when you are finished, as it may try to re-save as a text file again. ==Access Exports== There is also the ability to export regular reports, by previewing them and choosing Export->Excel File. As this is an Access export to Excel, instead of an Executive specific CSV export, the file formatting is not controlled, and may need some editing. It's advised to use the Executive CSV Exports whenever possible. [[Category:Documentation]] Front End Updates 0 26 266 90 2011-04-11T20:01:59Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki When a new Executive update is released, the Executive.mdb (and/or ExecutiveReports.mdb) file may need to be replaced on each workstation to complete the upgrade. The following instructions outline the steps required to update the front end files. This may also be the case if you have a corrupted front end file, and need to replace it with a clean front end file. ==Download Latest Files== Front End files for most of the 07/08 revisions can be found on the [[Updates]] page and are available for download. An easier method would be to copy the Executive.mdb file from a working computer, as you would not have to link the paths. Choose to Save the file to your shared server folder. You may want to create a new folder for the update such as ''Executive 08-01-29 FE'' (where 08.01.29 is the version number of the update). Save the file here, and double click it to extract it after installation for .exe files, or unzip it for .zip files. ==Updating Workstations== Each workstation will need to be updated with the new front end files. One way to save time is to link the files on the first workstation, then copy those linked files to the remaining workstations (assuming that all workstations use the same mapped drives and linking). ===First Workstation=== Open Executive, and go to Maintenance-System-Link Data. Write down your linkings for each of the applicable files. Below is an example of common linkings, but it may differ depending on your drive mappings. Also check your version by going to Help-Version, so that you can verify afterwards that the Executive (and/or ExecutiveReports) version has been updated. ====Sample Executive.mdb Linking Paths==== {|style="border-collapse: collapse; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #000" |- !style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| File !style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| Path |- |style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| ExecutivePrinterSetup |style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| C:\Executive\ExecutivePrinterSetup.mdb |- |style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| ExecutiveReports |style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| C:\Executive\ExecutiveReports.mdb |- |style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| ExecutiveData |style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| X:\ExecutiveData.mdb |- |style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| ExecutiveSetup |style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| X:\ExecutiveSetup.mdb |- |style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| ToLocation1 |style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| X:\ToLocation1.mdb |- |style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| ToLocationOther |style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| X:\ToLocationOther.mdb |} There should be 6 lines to link in Executive, if you have more/less please replace the Front end file again as it may be corrupted. ====Sample ExecutiveReports.mdb Linking Paths==== {|style="border-collapse: collapse; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #000" |- !style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| File !style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| Path |- |style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| ExecutiveData |style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| X:\ExecutiveData.mdb |- |style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| ExecutiveSetup |style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1px"| X:\ExecutiveSetup.mdb |} There should be 2 lines to link in Reports, if you have more/less please replace the Front end file again as it may be corrupted. ===Updating Files=== # Open My Computer and navigate to your shared folder, and into the server's ''08-01-29 FE'' folder. # Copy the Executive.mdb (and/or ExecutiveReports.mdb) file and paste it into the C:\Executive\ folder (C:\Program Files\Executive for 07 Version). # Open Executive, go to Maintenance-System-Link Data and change all the paths to match the ones you copied down earlier. # When the paths are correct, hit OK to link the data. # If you also need to link Executive Reports, go to reports and link from Maintenance-Link Data. Once the data is linked on the first workstation, go to this workstation's C:\Executive\ folder. Copy Executive.mdb (and/or ExecutiveReports.mdb) and paste them into your shared ''08-01-29 FE'' folder. These will then be used for updating remaining workstations. {{note|To check that everything is linked properly, go to Sales-Find a Sale and make sure today's sales are showing. You can also go to Help-Version to make sure the Executive Version number has been updated to the latest version.}} ===Remaining Workstations=== After the first workstation is completed, you can use the pre-linked files on the remaining workstations and update them individually. # Open My Computer and navigate to your shared folder, and into the server's ''08-01-29 FE'' folder. # Copy the Executive.mdb (and/or ExecutiveReports.mdb) file and paste it into the C:\Executive\ folder (C:\Program Files\Executive for 07 Version).

[[Category:Documentation]] HST Tax Guidelines 0 25 269 231 2011-04-11T20:03:09Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki {{info|If you use First Nations Exemptions on HST, you can continue using GST and PST as separate taxes, to allow easier exemption. They can just be re-labeled fHST and pHST.}} Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) will be coming into effect in Ontario and British Columbia as of July 1, 2010. To help ensure a seamless transition from GST/PST to the combined HST, here are a few things to be aware of regarding HST in Executive. ==Setting up HST in Executive using Tax 3== To set up HST, go to Maintenance-System-Tax Setup-Taxes. We recommend making Tax 1 (PST) and Tax 2 (GST) Inactive, and setting Tax 3 to HST with the correct rate (13% for Ontario, 12% for British Columbia). This allows you to make GST active as Tax 2 if necessary (for example: sales to provinces not covered by HST, if applicable). {{warn|The tips below assume that you are using Tax 3 for HST. If you instead change Tax 1 to HST instead of PST, any Returns/Reports mentioned below that still reference the original PST rates will be adversely affected, as some PST transactions will be mixed in the the HST transactions in the Daily Tax Report #10 that could cause confusion, and may cause PST to be calculated with the wrong rate.}} ===Layaways=== Executive will keep the original GST/PST rates from the time of layaway creation. Since layaways do not become final, taxable sales until they are fully paid, any layaways that were created before July 1, 2010 may need to be returned on June 30, 2010 and reissued on July 1, 2010 using HST as the sole tax. {{note|Please consult your accountant or tax authority if you have any questions regarding taxation on partially paid layaways, or on any items that were not taxed with both GST and PST to see how they should be reissued with HST.}} ===Returns=== Executive will keep the original GST/PST rates from the time of the original sale as part of the return. When you are returning the item on or after July 1, 2010 that was purchased before July 1, 2010, the HST box will not be checked off and the PST/GST boxes will not be visible but are still checked off (as evidence by the subtotal/total). The Daily Report #10 will work much the same, with the Total reflecting the GST/PST for that day, but with only the HST column visible on the report as it is the only active tax. If you need to see the GST/PST columns instead of just the totals, you could make those taxes active temporarily for the purpose of running the report. ===Product Default Taxes=== By default, new products are assigned the active taxes at the time of creation. Since you will be using Tax 3 for HST, this was not active when the items were created, and therefore will not be applied to each item by default. {{info|We provided the [[HST Update Utility]] that you can download and run to update your product taxes. This was made available to download before June 30th, 2010, and details were sent out on that date regarding download links and usage.}} ===Service Tax=== To apply HST to various Services, you can go to Maintenance-System-Tax Setup-Service Tax Setup and assign HST to Labour/Materials based on Service Department. GST/PST settings will not be carried over to HST, so HST is not assigned to services until this is completed. ===Tax Exemptions=== If any customer profiles need to be marked as HST Exempt, this can be done from the customer profile the same way that it worked with GST/PST. {{note|Past GST/PST Exemptions may work differently with HST, so please consult your accountant or a tax authority for further details on exemptions.}} ===Multiple Location Stores=== If your store has more than one location, you will need to update the taxes at Maintenance-System-Tax Setup in each location. Service Taxes will also need to be redone in each location. The Product Default Taxes will only need to be updated in the first store, and changes will be applied to additional locations during regular importing/exporting (so you should do an import/export after updating to ensure the other stores are updated as well). {{note|If your store has multiple locations, but they are not connected via importing/exporting, they are considered individual stores and will need to be updated individually.}} {{warn|We provide this document for information purposes only, as we are not tax professionals. Please refer to your accountant or tax authority for complete rules and guidelines for HST in your province.}} [[Category:Documentation]] HST Update Utility 0 121 270 241 2011-04-11T20:03:18Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki Executive's HST Product Update Utility has been updated to also update taxes on Special Orders. The Customer Tax Exemption report has also been updated to include HST Exemptions. ==Outline== These instructions assume that you have already ran the previous update utility to change your Products from GST to HST, so the Product ''Apply'' button is not functional in this version. If you have not updated your Products yet, please contact us for the Product Update Utility Version 1. {{info|For stores with multiple locations, the Special Order update component of the utility must be run on each store's database separately.}} ==Download and Run the Utility== Download the utility: [File:HSTTaxSetup4.exe] * Click Save, and save it to your C:\Executive folder (or C:\Program Files\Executive folder if C:\Executive does not exist). * When the download is complete, double click the HSTTaxSetup4.exe file. * Press Install to extract and run the utility. ==Linking Data== You must link the utility to the ExecutiveData.mdb file (Multi-Stores link to the individual ExecutiveData.mdb files one at a time to perform updates on each). The linking process will be quicker if nobody is currently using Executive. ===Finding Your ExecutiveData.mdb File Path=== * Open Executive and navigate to Maintenance-System-Link Data. * Find the filepath on the right side ending with ''ExecutiveData.mdb'' (likely similar to X:\ExecutiveData.mdb) * Select this path, then right click and copy the text. * Close Executive and return to the Update Utility. [[File:Hst41.PNG]] Click on the Link button to bring up the file linking window. [[File:Hst2.png]] Remove the current C:\Executive\ExecutiveData.mdb path, and right click and paste in the new path. Click OK to link the data. {{info|If you are unable to link the data, double check that the path is correct and matches the ExecutiveData.mdb path in Executive.}} ==Updating Special Orders== The utility has been updated to change the taxes on existing special orders, as transferring old special orders to a sale may cause the old tax rates to be used. [[File:Hst43.png]] Using the drop down boxes, choose to Copy product tax setup from '''GST''' to '''HST'''. To perform the update, hit Apply on '''2b.Update Special Orders''' [[File:Hst44.png]] A confirmation box will pop up, outlining what is about to be modified. Click Yes to continue. [[File:Hst5.png]] The update process is generally very quick, so it may take as little as a few seconds.

Click OK to return to the utility. ===Customer Tax Exemptions Report=== Since there may be existing PST or HST tax exemptions for customers, a report is available to display these in list form. This list can be used when adding Customer HST Exemptions (where applicable). {{info|Exemption rules may have changed, so some PST/GST exempt customers may not be exempt from HST. Consult your accountant or a tax authority for more details on HST Exemptions.}} [[File:Hst46.png]] Choose the preview button to view the Customer Exemption report. (Alternatively, choose the print button to print a copy of the report without previewing it.) [[File:Hst6.png]] The report displays the name and contact information of customers, along with their current tax exemptions. {{note|Be sure that no customers have pre-existing HST Exemptions, as imported customer lists may have been marked Tax 3 Exempt in the past.}} To create an HST Exemption in Executive, the HST tax must be active. * To set up general exemption groups, go to Maintenance-System-Tax Setup-Tax Exempt Status. * To set up a specific customer exemption you can go to the customer's profile, select the Tax/Interest tab, and set up the new exemption (with Exemption ID if necessary). ==Exiting the Utility== [[File:Hst48.png]] When you are finished with the Product Update and Customer Exemptions, press the X button to exit the utility. [[Category:Documentation]] Hardware 0 52 271 183 2011-04-11T20:03:30Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki ==Required Hardware== To use the basic functionality of the software, a tag printer, tags, receipt printer, and workstation is required. ===Operating Systems=== The [[Versions#2007 Version|2007 Version]] is only directly supported on Windows XP, as it is run from the Program Files folder (which has been changed in newer releases). It ''can'' be modified to work on Windows Vista and 7 by moving all .mdb files from C:/Program Files/Executive to C:/Executive. The [[Versions#2008 Version|2008 Version]] is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and 7. It is compatible with both 32 bit and 64 bit machines, with the only difference being that MS Access is installed in the ''Program Files (x86)'' folder instead of the ''Program Files'' folder, so the shortcuts and Report Startup need to be adjusted accordingly. ===Hardware Requirements=== Requirements for hardware are minimal, although obviously higher specifications will produce better results. Monitor Resolution - 1024 x 768 or higher Processor - Pentium III or higher RAM - 512MB or higher Hard Drive - 20GB or higher Network - Wired Ethernet (not Wireless) Operating System - Windows XP or newer. Installation and paths differ on Vista/7, as well as 32 vs 64 bit. ===Network=== Wired network is required, as wireless networks are generally less reliable and slower. Due to the increased chance of data corruption due to network droppage, any wireless network usage is discouraged with Executive in a peer to peer setup. If using Terminal Services or Citrix Metaframe to run Executive remotely, wireless connections may be used because data loss is generally protected by the remote access application, and all Executive data remains on the server since it is being accessed remotely. ===Backups=== A backup solution in the form of an external hard drive, USB flash drive, tape backup system, or other backup software is highly recommended. Please see [[Backups]] for more details. ===Tag Printers=== A tag printer is used to print barcode tags generated for inventory items. There are many printers on the market, but only the following models are supported for use with Executive (any others are use at your own risk, as they are unsupported). ====Citizen CLP621==== Please see the [[Citizen CLP621]] product page for information on setup and troubleshooting. They can be purchased from [http://www.kassoy.com/citizen-tt-desk-top_printer.html Kassoy], and more information can be found at the [http://www.citizen-systems.com/product.aspx?id=25 Citizen Website]. Both [[Hardware#304 Tags|304 Style Tags]] and [[Hardware#306 Tags|306 Style Tags]] are compatible with this printer, although 304 Style is recommended. _This printer is the recommended option for anyone purchasing a new tag printer for the first time (otherwise, it's recommended to stick with the model you currently have if you are happy with it)._ ====Zebra TLP2844==== Please see the [[Zebra TLP2844]] product page for information on setup and troubleshooting. They can be purchased from [http://www.kassoy.com/zebra-tlp2844-thermal-transfer_printers.html Kassoy], and more information can be found at the [http://www.zebra.com/id/zebra/na/en/index/products/printers/desktop/tlp2844.html Zebra Website]. Only [[Hardware#304 Tags|304 Style Tags]] are compatible with this printer. ====Datamax E4203==== Please see the [[Datamax E4203]] product page for information on setup and troubleshooting. They can be purchased from [http://www.kassoy.com/datamax-tt_printer.html Kassoy], and more information can be found at the [http://www.datamaxcorp.com/products/e-class/features/ Datamax Website]. Only [[Hardware#304 Tags|304 Style Tags]] are compatible with this printer. ===Supported Tags=== Only the following styles of barcode tags are supported. ====304 Tags==== [[File:tag304.PNG]]<br> EZU304WT thermal transfer rattail tags can be purchased from [http://www.kassoy.com/304-thermal-transfer-rat-tail-tags.html Kassoy]. These tags are compatible with all 3 supported printers. ====306 Tags==== [[File:tag306.PNG]]<br> EZU306WT thermal transfer rattail tags can be purchased from [http://www.kassoy.com/306-thermal-transfer-upc-rat-tail-tags.html Kassoy]. These tags are only compatible with Citizen Printers. ===Tag Printer Ribbon=== [http://www.kassoy.com/110-mm-resin-ribbon.html 110mm Ribbon] is required due to the width of the labels. Be sure to use the appropriate printer specific ribbon. ===Receipt Printers=== ====Standard 8.5"x11"==== To print reports, a standard 8.5"x11" laser or inkjet printer is required. If using an inkjet, ensure it is able to print 0.25" margins. If you choose to print full page receipts, these can also be printed on a standard printer with 8.5"x11" paper. See Maintenance->System->Receipts to choose printing options. ====Epson TMT88IV Series==== If you choose to print 3" receipts, the Epson TMT88 Series is recommended (latest model is TMT88IV, past models were TMT88II and TMT88III). Please see the [[Epson TM-T88IV]] product page for more information. ==Optional Hardware== Other hardware may be used in conjunction with the system, such as bar code scanners, cash drawers, card scanners, and touch screen POS screens. ===Bar Code Scanner=== Bar code scanners are generally compatible, portable models must be able to store scans in CSV format, while wired models should be able to scan the barcode into Windows Notepad as a test. Recommended Models include: * Metrologic MS9500 Voyager - Wired * Unitech Hornet 630 - Portable Scanner Reference Manuals * Metrologic MS9540 [[File:Metrologic Barcode Scanner MS9540_Manual.pdf|User Manua]] * Unitech Hornet 630 [[File:Hornet Scanner Manual.pdf|Executive Manual Excerpt]] | [[File:Unitech PT630 Hornet User Manual.pdf|User Manual]] * Symbol LS4071 [[File:Symbol 4071 Barcode Scanner Manual.pdf|User Manual]] ===Cash Drawers=== Currently Executive does not natively support cash drawer functionality. Cash Drawers can also be triggered by the Epson TM-T88 series Receipt Printer, so please contact your hardware supplier for further information. ===Card Scanners=== Currently Executive does not natively support card scanners (for integrated Credit Card, Gift Card, or Debit Card scanning). 3rd Party software can be used, but this functionality is not integrated directly with Executive at this time. ===Camera=== For attaching images to inventory items or job bags, a camera is required. Camera options include anything from basic digital cameras to advanced jewellery imaging systems, since the camera system is not directly integrated with Executive. Images taken with the camera are simply stored in the Executive Images folder in a suitable image format and named according to SKU. Please see [[Images#Attaching Images|Images]] for more information on Attaching Images. ===Touch Screen POS=== Executive is not specifically designed for use with touch screen POS systems, so a keyboard is still required for text entry. Although the interface is not optimized for touch screen usability, menus and forms can be navigated using touch screen as a replacement for the mouse.

[[Category:Troubleshooting]] Known Issues 0 59 273 135 2011-04-11T20:04:38Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki Since development has been discontinued, here is a gathering of Known Issues and potential workarounds. #On Purchase Orders, if you begin receiving a PO and quit partway through receiving, in some situations the PO will be marked as incomplete, but you will not be able to return the items. This is because when receiving it, the POReceive tables have already been filled in, which ensures that the items cannot be returned multiple times, but the PurchaseOrderReceive tables were not yet filled in, as the process was exited before that point. The only way to fix this is to open the database in MS Access and remove the records from the POReceive table that should not have been there. #On Gift Certificates, there have been cases where partially using a Gift Certificate will appear correct and create the correct credit, but the Gift Certificate itself doesn't remove the credit amount. This can be observed on the Daily Balance and Deposit report, where the Gift Certificate line doesn't reflect the full amount being removed, with the Credit balance not being factored in. This can be corrected by editing the Payment table record for type GCEO for the full amount. See other similar gift certificate records for examples of a correct entry and replicate that. #If a sale has been partially entered but is incomplete, it will have a -ve InvoiceId (such as -1). These are removed during compacting, but if the Daily Balance and Deposit report is run at the end of the day before compacting, these sales may show on the Daily reports and cause discrepancies. If this is found, simply compact the data and re-run the reports to get the correct figures. #Service Reports 3/4/5 do not accept the No Charge filter. Will give the pop up 'Enter Parameter Value', so it must be left blank on these reports. #When doing a Transfer In, if you leave the Transfer and reopen it later through Functions-Find Transfer, in some situations it will change the To and From Locations so that both are the same location. If this happens, the best option is to start the transfer over again and complete it without exiting. #On Appraisal Retail Replacement Certificates, if you use an Appraisal SKU with no weight entered in the original SKU, it will transfer the weight as 0.0 instead of blank, which is then printed on the certificate. #On Estimates, sometimes the Supplier drop down sorts by Supplier Name instead of by supplier code, so something such as CR - Richmont seems to be missing, because it's in the R's instead of the C's. It doesn't do it if you choose Repair Dept then Estimate, but will if you choose Estimate first then add names etc. ##Note: The suppliers aren't missing, just sorted differently so they aren't where they should be, and the Code doesn't find it when it's typed in, as it assumes it's not there and guesses an extra character such as CRL instead of CR. When looking for Estimates, it sorts by Supplier Name, not Supplier Code. #In some cases, a Supplier will not show up for the Service Department 'Stock Item', even though it is entered correctly under Supplier Groups and shows up in all other Service Departments. #When trying to update a Supplier's email address, it may show up as a hyperlink, and clicking takes you to their website instead of allowing editing. The workaround is to go to the preceding tab on the Supplier profile, and use the Tab key to get to the Website field and edit it that way.

General tag troubleshooting is below. ==Specific Models== [[Zebra TLP2844]] (and TLP2742) [[Citizen CLP621]] (and compatible Citizen models) [[Datamax E4203]] ==Printer Mapping to USB== # Go to Start->Printers and Faxes, find your tag printer, right click it, click Properties. Click the Sharing Tab and Share this Printer as ''304''. # Go to Start->Run and type _cmd_ and hit Enter to bring up the Command Prompt. # Type '''net use LPT1: \\computername\304''' (where computername is the name of this computer, to find this right click My Computer, click Properties, click the Computer Name Tab, and find the computer name. It will be everything until the first decimal point. Ex: ExecWorkstation1.domain would be named ExecWorkstation1) The print job sent to the LPT1 port should now redirect to the shared tag printer and successfully print the job. ==Troubleshooting and Sharing with other Computers== ===Sharing the Printer=== # On the first computer, go to Start-Printers and Faxes and open the Properties for the Zebra printer. # Under Sharing, share the printer if it's not already shared. Write down the Share Name. # Right click on My Computer, and go to Properties. Go to Computer Name, and write down the Full Computer Name (excluding the domain, which is everything after the '.'). ===Mapping the Printer to a Workstation=== # On the second computer, go to Start-Run. Type in cmd to open up a command prompt window. # Type net use lpt1: \\ComputerName\PrinterShareName #* So if my computer is name ExecutivePC and my printer is shared as Zebra2844, I'd type net use lpt1: \\ExecutivePC\Zebra2844 # Then after hitting enter, you should see that 'The command completed successfully.' # Next make sure that Tags-Setup Rattail Tags have the same settings on both workstations. # Then test printing to ensure the tag prints properly. {{info|If you then get Error 53 in the future on the secondary workstation when trying to print tags, it means that the mapping needs to be redone as it's been lost (possibly due to a restart of the computer). If this happens multiple times, you can create a batch script on the desktop that will reset the printer so you just double click it to reset the mapping. It could even be set to run on startup if its a common issue, which should eliminate the need to reset it manually.}} ====Batch File for Mapping==== To create a batch file to reset your printer mapping as described above: * Create a new file in Notepad and save it to your desktop as ''Printer Reset.bat'' (removing the txt file extension and saving as type 'all files') * Enter the following text (using your computer name and printer share name): {{code|net use LPT1: /d <br>net use LPT1: \\computername\304}} This can be run to delete the existing LPT1 mapping and remap it if errors are occurring. It can also be placed in the Windows startup folder if it happens very frequently when restarting the computer.

It will then print dump info, press feed to exit dump mode). The dump should have a value for 'q' (width) and 'Q' (height,offset). The Q should be set via AutoSense gap sensing (approx 315, can be set similarly to q), q should be 832. If it is lower, such as 408, it needs to be reset. To set q to proper value of 832, follow these steps: * Start->Printers and Faxes * Right click the Zebra2844 (installed using Universal driver ZUD) and click properties * Go to the Printer tab, expand the advanced line, click tools, then click the tools button * In the 'Direct Command for Printer' box, type 'q832' and press send. The printer should be shown briefly in the system tray as the command is sent. * Press OK and exit the printer settings. * Try an AutoSense dump (being sure to hit feed after to exit the dump mode) * It may not be readable on the left side, which means it should be set properly. * Try printing through Executive. Contact Zebra support if you have any issues. ===Printing blank tags=== Tags are printing, but a blank page is being inserted between labels.

Adding Workstations 0 19 287 249 2011-04-11T20:34:04Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki To Install Executive on a new workstation, first find an existing workstation (not the server) that will have a similar setup as the new workstation. ==On the Existing Workstation== * Navigate to the local ''C:/'' folder (''C:/Program Files/'' for the 2007 Version). * Find the ''Executive'' folder. Right Click and Copy it. * Navigate to your shared folder in ''My Computer'' (generally the X:\ drive). * Right click and create a New Folder, and name it ''todays date'' (so it's easy to find later on). * Open the new folder, and Right Click and Paste. The ''Executive'' folder should copy itself over. * From the Desktop, Right Click and Copy the Executive Shortcut. Paste it into the ''today's date'' folder as well. * Open ''My Computer'' and make note of your shared drive's details. ** For Example, if it says ''Executive on Server1 (X:\)'', the shared folder's name is '''Executive''', the server's name is '''Server1''', and the drive is mapped as '''X:''' ** Write this information down, as you will need it for mapping the shared drive on the new workstation. ==On the New Workstation== ===Mapping the Shared Drive=== * Right Click on _My Computer_ and choose _Map Network Drive_ * Choose the same drive letter that the old workstation used. * You can either browse for the correct server and shared folder, or you can enter it manually. ** To enter it manually, type: '''\\SERVERNAME\SHAREDFOLDER''' using the mapping information from the old workstation. ** For Example, if the old workstation said '''Executive on Server1 (X:\)''', you would type '''\\Server1\Executive''' !mapdrive.PNG! ===Copying the Executive Folder=== * Once the shared drive is mapped, it generally opens in a new window (you can manually open it from ''My Computer'' otherwise) * Find the ''today's date'' folder, and open it. * Right Click on the Executive Shortcut file and copy it. Paste it to the Desktop. Return to the ''today's date'' folder. * Right Click on the ''Executive'' folder and Copy it. * Navigate to the local ''C:/'' folder (''C:/Program Files/'' for the 2007 Version). * Right Click and Paste. This should create a new Executive Folder. ===Installing Access Runtime=== * Click [[File:2003Runtime.exe]] to download the Access Runtime installer. Save it to your Desktop. * When it is finished downloading, Double Click the file and choose Install. This will create a new ''2003Runtime'' folder on the Desktop. * Open the new ''2003Runtime'' folder. * Double click ''ACCESSRT.MSI'' (it will look like this: [[File:ACCESSRT-MSI-IMG.PNG]]) * Follow the Access Installer Wizard, until it is finished. ===Testing Executive=== * Now that everything is set up, double click on the Executive Shortcut from the Desktop to launch Executive. ** The first time you launch the program, you will need to click ''Yes'' when prompted to 'Block Unsafe Expressions'. This is only required on the first startup. ** If using 64 bit Windows, the shortcut path and Reports Startup path will need to be updated to include (x86) in the Program Files section for MS Access. * If Executive loads without any error messages, try finding a Sale to make sure the data is being found. * Printers must be installed, and Printer Setup will need to be completed unless everything is the exact same as the old workstation's printers. * If Microsoft Office isn't installed, Graphic Filters might need to be installed before being able to view images. See [[Downloads#Graphic Filters|Graphic Filters]] for help installing these using the [[File:Grphflt.exe]] installer. * Download [[File:MemCpy.dll]] from [[Downloads#Memcpy.dll|Downloads]] and place it in your C:/Windows/System32 folder (this enables file browsing, such as for images).

[[File:Link Data.png]] 375 373 2011-04-21T16:21:14Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki The main database file for Executive is named ExecutiveData.mdb, and is generally stored on a server and shared out to each workstation. To find the location of your ExecutiveData.mdb file, you can go to Maintenance-System-Link Data and find the ExecutiveData.mdb file path. [[File:Link Data.png]] Once you have found the file through My Computer, it is recommended to make a backup copy to work with, to ensure nothing happens to your live data file. This can be as simple as copying and pasting the ExecutiveData.mdb file and opening the copy. To access the tables in the ExecutiveData file, a full version of Microsoft Access is required, and must be a version capable of opening Access 2003 files. Once the file has been opened, you will be prompted to enter the database password. The ExecutiveData file is protected, and cannot be viewed without this password. {{note|This password is being provided for the purposes of Executive Jeweller clients to access their data and facilitate data extraction when moving to new systems. Anyone accessing the ExecutiveData.mdb file must agree to the following disclaimer and non disclosure agreement: I acknowledge that by opening and accessing the Executivedata.mdb file, I will not hold Executive Jeweller or it's licensors responsible for any potential damage to the data file or Executive Jeweller software, and absolve them from any liability issues relating to accessing the database using the password. I will only be accessing backup copies of the data, and fully understand the risks involved. I take full responsibility to protect this password and agree to not disclose it. I have requested the password to run queries on a backup copy of the data, and will not make changes to the data itself. I also declare that I will not disclose any details of the Executive Jeweller software, including the database schema and structure, and will not attempt to reverse engineer the software or use this knowledge in a competing product.}} The password for the ExecutiveData.mdb file is ''ceisexec'', and the shift key must be held down when pressing OK. If you are unable to view the tables at this time, ensure you are using a full version of Microsoft Access, and not a runtime version (which is the version provided with Executive Jeweller installations).

Right Click and Copy it. * Navigate to your shared folder in ''My Computer'' (generally the X:\ drive). * Right click and create a New Folder, and name it ''todays date'' (so it's easy to find later on). * Open the new folder, and Right Click and Paste. The ''Executive'' folder should copy itself over. * From the Desktop, Right Click and Copy the Executive Shortcut. Paste it into the ''today's date'' folder as well. * Open ''My Computer'' and make note of your shared drive's details. ** For Example, if it says ''Executive on Server1 (X:\)'', the shared folder's name is '''Executive''', the server's name is '''Server1''', and the drive is mapped as '''X:''' ** Write this information down, as you will need it for mapping the shared drive on the new workstation. ==On the New Workstation== ===Mapping the Shared Drive=== * Right Click on _My Computer_ and choose _Map Network Drive_ * Choose the same drive letter that the old workstation used. * You can either browse for the correct server and shared folder, or you can enter it manually. ** To enter it manually, type: '''\\SERVERNAME\SHAREDFOLDER''' using the mapping information from the old workstation. ** For Example, if the old workstation said '''Executive on Server1 (X:\)''', you would type '''\\Server1\Executive''' !mapdrive.PNG! ===Copying the Executive Folder=== * Once the shared drive is mapped, it generally opens in a new window (you can manually open it from ''My Computer'' otherwise) * Find the ''today's date'' folder, and open it. * Right Click on the Executive Shortcut file and copy it. Paste it to the Desktop. Return to the ''today's date'' folder. * Right Click on the ''Executive'' folder and Copy it. * Navigate to the local ''C:/'' folder (''C:/Program Files/'' for the 2007 Version). * Right Click and Paste. This should create a new Executive Folder. ===Installing Access Runtime=== * Click [[File:2003Runtime.exe]] to download the Access Runtime installer. Save it to your Desktop. * When it is finished downloading, Double Click the file and choose Install. This will create a new ''2003Runtime'' folder on the Desktop. * Open the new ''2003Runtime'' folder. * Double click ''ACCESSRT.MSI'' (it will look like this: [[File:ACCESSRT-MSI-IMG.PNG]]) * Follow the Access Installer Wizard, until it is finished. ===Testing Executive=== * Now that everything is set up, double click on the Executive Shortcut from the Desktop to launch Executive. ** The first time you launch the program, you will need to click ''Yes'' when prompted to 'Block Unsafe Expressions'. This is only required on the first startup. ** If using 64 bit Windows, the shortcut path and Reports Startup path will need to be updated to include (x86) in the Program Files section for MS Access. See [[Errors#Opening Reports|Opening Reports]] for details on the required path for various versions. * If Executive loads without any error messages, try finding a Sale to make sure the data is being found. * Printers must be installed, and Printer Setup will need to be completed unless everything is the exact same as the old workstation's printers. * If Microsoft Office isn't installed, Graphic Filters might need to be installed before being able to view images. See [[Downloads#Graphic Filters|Graphic Filters]] for help installing these using the [[File:Grphflt.exe]] installer. * Download [[File:MemCpy.dll]] from [[Downloads#Memcpy.dll|Downloads]] and place it in your C:/Windows/System32 folder (this enables file browsing, such as for images).

Much of the specialized hardware can be purchased from [Kassoy]. === Operating Systems === The [[Versions#2007_Version|2007 Version]] is only directly supported on Windows XP, as it is run from the Program Files folder (which has been changed in newer releases). It ''can'' be modified to work on Windows Vista and 7 by moving all .mdb files from C:/Program Files/Executive to C:/Executive. The [[Versions#2008_Version|2008 Version]] is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and 7. It is compatible with both 32 bit and 64 bit machines, with the only difference being that MS Access is installed in the ''Program Files (x86)'' folder instead of the ''Program Files'' folder, so the shortcuts and Report Startup need to be adjusted accordingly. === Hardware Requirements === Requirements for hardware are minimal, although obviously higher specifications will produce better results. Monitor Resolution - 1024 x 768 or higher Processor - Pentium III or higher RAM - 512MB or higher Hard Drive - 20GB or higher Network - Wired Ethernet (not Wireless) Operating System - Windows XP or newer. Installation and paths differ on Vista/7, as well as 32 vs 64 bit. === Network === Wired network is required, as wireless networks are generally less reliable and slower. Due to the increased chance of data corruption due to network droppage, any wireless network usage is discouraged with Executive in a peer to peer setup. If using Terminal Services or Citrix Metaframe to run Executive remotely, wireless connections may be used because data loss is generally protected by the remote access application, and all Executive data remains on the server since it is being accessed remotely. === Backups === A backup solution in the form of an external hard drive, USB flash drive, tape backup system, or other backup software is highly recommended. Please see [[Backups]] for more details. === Tag Printers === A tag printer is used to print barcode tags generated for inventory items. There are many printers on the market, but only the following models are supported for use with Executive (any others are use at your own risk, as they are unsupported). ==== Citizen CLP621 ==== Please see the [[Citizen CLP621]] product page for information on setup and troubleshooting. They can be purchased from [http://www.kassoy.com/citizen-tt-desk-top_printer.html Kassoy], and more information can be found at the [http://www.citizen-systems.com/product.aspx?id=25 Citizen Website]. Both [[Hardware#304_Tags|304 Style Tags]] and [[Hardware#306_Tags|306 Style Tags]] are compatible with this printer, although 304 Style is recommended. _This printer is the recommended option for anyone purchasing a new tag printer for the first time (otherwise, it's recommended to stick with the model you currently have if you are happy with it)._ ==== Zebra TLP2844 ==== Please see the [[Zebra TLP2844]] product page for information on setup and troubleshooting. They can be purchased from [http://www.kassoy.com/zebra-tlp2844-thermal-transfer_printers.html Kassoy], and more information can be found at the [http://www.zebra.com/id/zebra/na/en/index/products/printers/desktop/tlp2844.html Zebra Website]. Only [[Hardware#304_Tags|304 Style Tags]] are compatible with this printer. ==== Datamax E4203 ==== Please see the [[Datamax E4203]] product page for information on setup and troubleshooting. They can be purchased from [http://www.kassoy.com/datamax-tt_printer.html Kassoy], and more information can be found at the [http://www.datamaxcorp.com/products/e-class/features/ Datamax Website]. Only [[Hardware#304_Tags|304 Style Tags]] are compatible with this printer. === Supported Tags === Only the following styles of barcode tags are supported. ==== 304 Tags ==== [[Image:Tag304.PNG]]<br> EZU304WT thermal transfer rattail tags can be purchased from [http://www.kassoy.com/304-thermal-transfer-rat-tail-tags.html Kassoy]. These tags are compatible with all 3 supported printers. ==== 306 Tags ==== [[Image:Tag306.PNG]]<br> EZU306WT thermal transfer rattail tags can be purchased from [http://www.kassoy.com/306-thermal-transfer-upc-rat-tail-tags.html Kassoy]. These tags are only compatible with Citizen Printers. === Tag Printer Ribbon === [http://www.kassoy.com/110-mm-resin-ribbon.html 110mm Ribbon] is required due to the width of the labels. Be sure to use the appropriate printer specific ribbon. === Receipt Printers === ==== Standard 8.5"x11" ==== To print reports, a standard 8.5"x11" laser or inkjet printer is required. If using an inkjet, ensure it is able to print 0.25" margins. If you choose to print full page receipts, these can also be printed on a standard printer with 8.5"x11" paper. See Maintenance-&gt;System-&gt;Receipts to choose printing options. ==== Epson TMT88IV Series ==== If you choose to print 3" receipts, the Epson TMT88 Series is recommended (latest model is TMT88IV, past models were TMT88II and TMT88III). Please see the [[Epson TM-T88IV]] product page for more information. == Optional Hardware == Other hardware may be used in conjunction with the system, such as bar code scanners, cash drawers, card scanners, and touch screen POS screens. === Bar Code Scanner === Bar code scanners are generally compatible, portable models must be able to store scans in CSV format, while wired models should be able to scan the barcode into Windows Notepad as a test. Recommended Models include: *Metrologic MS9500 Voyager - Wired *Unitech Hornet 630 - Portable Scanner Reference Manuals *Metrologic MS9540 [[Image:Metrologic Barcode Scanner MS9540 Manual.pdf|User Manua]] *Unitech Hornet 630 [[Image:Hornet Scanner Manual.pdf|Executive Manual Excerpt]] | [[Image:Unitech PT630 Hornet User Manual.pdf|User Manual]] *Symbol LS4071 [[Image:Symbol 4071 Barcode Scanner Manual.pdf|User Manual]] === Cash Drawers === Currently Executive does not natively support cash drawer functionality. Cash Drawers can also be triggered by the Epson TM-T88 series Receipt Printer, so please contact your hardware supplier for further information. === Card Scanners === Currently Executive does not natively support card scanners (for integrated Credit Card, Gift Card, or Debit Card scanning). 3rd Party software can be used, but this functionality is not integrated directly with Executive at this time. === Camera === For attaching images to inventory items or job bags, a camera is required. Camera options include anything from basic digital cameras to advanced jewellery imaging systems, since the camera system is not directly integrated with Executive. Images taken with the camera are simply stored in the Executive Images folder in a suitable image format and named according to SKU. Please see [[Images#Attaching_Images|Images]] for more information on Attaching Images. === Touch Screen POS === Executive is not specifically designed for use with touch screen POS systems, so a keyboard is still required for text entry. Although the interface is not optimized for touch screen usability, menus and forms can be navigated using touch screen as a replacement for the mouse.

Backups 0 21 410 250 2011-06-23T20:33:48Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki It is crucial to make regular backups, in case of loss of the primary data source. Data loss could be due to data corruption, hard drive failure, damage due to disaster or theft, etc. It is recommended to speak with your hardware supplier for further information on instituting a reliable method of backing up your data. If you have no backup system at all, you could consider using [[Backup Scripts]] and Windows Task Scheduler to provide basic automated backups, as many of the backup criteria outlined below can be met by this free method. ==Files== * The ExecutiveData.mdb file (generally in the server's shared folder) '''must''' be backed up regularly (see below for more suggestions). This file contains all program data, and cannot be replaced in case of data corruption or loss without a usable backup. * The Images folder (generally in the server's shared folder) should be backed up occasionally, to ensure that if loss occurs, only a limited amount of images will need to be retaken. * The ExecutiveSetup.mdb file (generally in the server's shared folder) should be backed up when setup details are changed. It holds a small amount of customized setup data, but could be replaced with a default copy if absolutely necessary. * Other Executive files, such as the front ends and system images can be replaced in case of loss, but can be backed up if possible to ensure the system can be quickly restored. ==Onsite and Offsite Backups== Backups should be regularly stored both onsite and offsite, in case of loss at one location. Offsite backups could be in the form of an online backup, or a physical backup that is taken offsite. ==Automation== Backups should be automated, to ensure that it is done regularly. Both automated scripts and software solutions can be used to automate backups. ==Redundancy== Making backups using multiple methods ensures that you are prepared in case of failure by one method. This could include backing up to both an external hard drive as well as a tape drive, or simply using a USB flash drive for a weekly backup in conjunction with your regular method. ==Timing== It is best to schedule backups regularly, and to back up data when it is not being used (such as at night). It's also recommended to keep multiple backups, just in case of data corruption that is not immediately identified. ===Backup Schedule=== * Monday-Friday should each have their own backup folder/tape, in case you need to restore from a few days ago due to corruption issues. Overwriting the same file daily is not recommended, it's best to cycle daily backups each week to ensure a week's worth of separate backups are retained. Daily backups could include as little as only the ExecutiveData.mdb file. * Monthly backups could be used to create full snapshots, with both the ExecutiveData.mdb, ExecutiveSetup.mdb, and Images folders being backed up. ===Examples=== There are many possible configurations, using a variety of methods. Below are examples of two popular methods, and schedules for creating redundant, automated backups with offsite capabilities. ====Tape Backup==== * If using tape backups, have 7 tapes. Use 1 as a monthly, use the 5 as Monday-Friday. Use the additional tape as a Swap for the Thursday tape. Each Friday, bring in the offsite Thursday tape, and swap it for the current Thursday tape, keeping the other Thursday tape offsite until swapping it again the next week. ====Flash Drive/External Hard Drive==== * If using flash drives/external hard drives, have 3. Alternate 2 as daily backups, and keep the extra one offsite. Swap the offsite with Thursday's backup every Friday, so that one is always offsite. Try to alternate each day, so that each drive is used evenly. * Backups could be stored in M-F folders, so that each flash drive/external hard drive would have a full weekly backup, further increasing redundancy. ** For example, have HD's 1, 2, and 3. ** Week A, HD3 will be offsite. Use HD1 M,W,F. Use HD2 T,TH. On Friday, bring in HD3 and take HD2 offsite. ** Week B, HD2 will be offsite. Use HD3 M,W,F. Use HD1 T,TH. On Friday, bring in HD2 and take HD1 offsite. ** Week C, HD1 will be offsite. Use HD2 M,W,F. Use HD3 T,TH. On Friday, bring in HD1 and take HD3 offsite.

These tags are only compatible with Citizen Printers. === Tag Printer Ribbon === [http://www.kassoy.com/110-mm-resin-ribbon.html 110mm Ribbon] is required due to the width of the labels. Be sure to use the appropriate printer specific ribbon. === Receipt Printers === ==== Standard 8.5"x11" ==== To print reports, a standard 8.5"x11" laser or inkjet printer is required. If using an inkjet, ensure it is able to print 0.25" margins. If you choose to print full page receipts, these can also be printed on a standard printer with 8.5"x11" paper. See Maintenance-&gt;System-&gt;Receipts to choose printing options. ==== Epson TMT88IV Series ==== If you choose to print 3" receipts, the Epson TMT88 Series is recommended (latest model is TMT88V, past models were TMT88II, TMT88III, TMT88IV). Please see the [[Epson TM-T88IV]] product page for more information. == Optional Hardware == Other hardware may be used in conjunction with the system, such as bar code scanners, cash drawers, card scanners, and touch screen POS screens. === Bar Code Scanner === Bar code scanners are generally compatible, portable models must be able to store scans in CSV format, while wired models should be able to scan the barcode into Windows Notepad as a test. Recommended Models include: *Metrologic MS9500 Voyager - Wired *Unitech Hornet 630 - Portable Scanner Reference Manuals *Metrologic MS9540 [[Image:Metrologic Barcode Scanner MS9540 Manual.pdf|User Manua]] *Unitech Hornet 630 [[Image:Hornet Scanner Manual.pdf|Executive Manual Excerpt]] | [[Image:Unitech PT630 Hornet User Manual.pdf|User Manual]] *Symbol LS4071 [[Image:Symbol 4071 Barcode Scanner Manual.pdf|User Manual]] === Cash Drawers === Currently Executive does not natively support cash drawer functionality. Cash Drawers can also be triggered by the Epson TM-T88 series Receipt Printer, so please contact your hardware supplier for further information. === Card Scanners === Currently Executive does not natively support card scanners (for integrated Credit Card, Gift Card, or Debit Card scanning). 3rd Party software can be used, but this functionality is not integrated directly with Executive at this time. === Camera === For attaching images to inventory items or job bags, a camera is required. Camera options include anything from basic digital cameras to advanced jewellery imaging systems, since the camera system is not directly integrated with Executive. Images taken with the camera are simply stored in the Executive Images folder in a suitable image format and named according to SKU. Please see [[Images#Attaching_Images|Images]] for more information on Attaching Images. === Touch Screen POS === Executive is not specifically designed for use with touch screen POS systems, so a keyboard is still required for text entry. Although the interface is not optimized for touch screen usability, menus and forms can be navigated using touch screen as a replacement for the mouse. [[Category:Hardware]] 455 412 2012-03-23T21:10:09Z Executive 1 /* Citizen CLP621 */ wikitext text/x-wiki == Required Hardware == To use the basic functionality of the software, a tag printer, tags, receipt printer, and workstation is required. Much of the specialized hardware can be purchased from [Kassoy]. === Operating Systems === The [[Versions#2007_Version|2007 Version]] is only directly supported on Windows XP, as it is run from the Program Files folder (which has been changed in newer releases). It ''can'' be modified to work on Windows Vista and 7 by moving all .mdb files from C:/Program Files/Executive to C:/Executive. The [[Versions#2008_Version|2008 Version]] is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and 7. It is compatible with both 32 bit and 64 bit machines, with the only difference being that MS Access is installed in the ''Program Files (x86)'' folder instead of the ''Program Files'' folder, so the shortcuts and Report Startup need to be adjusted accordingly. === Hardware Requirements === Requirements for hardware are minimal, although obviously higher specifications will produce better results. Monitor Resolution - 1024 x 768 or higher Processor - Pentium III or higher RAM - 512MB or higher Hard Drive - 20GB or higher Network - Wired Ethernet (not Wireless) Operating System - Windows XP or newer. Installation and paths differ on Vista/7, as well as 32 vs 64 bit. === Network === Wired network is required, as wireless networks are generally less reliable and slower. Due to the increased chance of data corruption due to network droppage, any wireless network usage is discouraged with Executive in a peer to peer setup. If using Terminal Services or Citrix Metaframe to run Executive remotely, wireless connections may be used because data loss is generally protected by the remote access application, and all Executive data remains on the server since it is being accessed remotely. === Backups === A backup solution in the form of an external hard drive, USB flash drive, tape backup system, or other backup software is highly recommended. Please see [[Backups]] for more details. === Tag Printers === A tag printer is used to print barcode tags generated for inventory items. There are many printers on the market, but only the following models are supported for use with Executive (any others are use at your own risk, as they are unsupported). ==== Citizen CLP621 ==== Please see the [[Citizen CLP621]] product page for information on setup and troubleshooting.

Also, if it is Windows 7 64..." wikitext text/x-wiki The 07 Version of Executive uses the C:/Program Files/Executive folder, which is different in Windows 7 than in XP due to virtualization in Windows 7. Also, if it is Windows 7 64 bit instead of 32 bit, the Store Setup Report Path and desktop shortcut will need to have (x86) added to the path after Program Files (as in C:/Program Files (x86)/...) You should be able to run it on Windows 7 by moving the MDB files from C:/Program Files/Executive to C:/Executive and relinking them. Here are the revised installation instructions for installing Executive 07 on a Windows 7 workstation. ==On the New Workstation== ===Mapping the Shared Drive=== * Right Click on _My Computer_ and choose _Map Network Drive_ * Choose the same drive letter that the old workstation used. * You can either browse for the correct server and shared folder, or you can enter it manually. ** To enter it manually, type: '''\\SERVERNAME\SHAREDFOLDER''' using the mapping information from the old workstation. ** For Example, if the old workstation said '''Executive on Server1 (X:\)''', you would type '''\\Server1\Executive''' !mapdrive.PNG! ===Copying the Executive Folder=== * Once the shared drive is mapped, it generally opens in a new window (you can manually open it from ''My Computer'' otherwise) * Find the ''today's date'' folder, and open it. * Right Click on the Executive Shortcut file and copy it. Paste it to the Desktop. Return to the ''today's date'' folder. * Right Click on the ''Executive'' folder and Copy it. * Navigate to the local ''C:/'' folder (''C:/Program Files/'' for the 2007 Version). * Right Click and Paste. This should create a new Executive Folder. ====Extra Steps for Executive07 on Windows7==== * Open C:/ and create a new folder as C:/Executive * Open C:/Program Files/Executive and copy Executive.mdb, ExecutiveSetup.mdb, ExecutivePrinterSetup.mdb, ExecutiveReports.mdb * Open C:/Executive and paste these files here. * Right click on the desktop shortcut, click Properties, and change the target path to C:/Executive/Executive.mdb instead of C:/Program Files/Executive/Executive.mdb.

Whether it is a catalog, a targeted campaign to reward your top customers, or invitations to a special event, you will need to send out mail. In some cases email will be the preferred delivery method, in other cases it will be postal mail. ==Clean Up== The first step in a successful mailing is often to ensure your list is clean. Sending mail to old or incomplete addresses is neither efficient or effective. Even small touches such as making sure names and addresses are properly spelled and capitalized will create a more professional looking mail campaign, and will enhance deliverability rates (and therefore response rates!). The best method to clean up your customer data is to divide your customer list between employees and have them manually go through and clean up customer profiles. Simple phone number and address checks can often be accomplished using [[http://411.com|411.com]] or a similar equivalent. Whether you break it up based on assigned customers, handing out pages of a customer report, or by letters of the alphabet, any cleanup that can be accomplished within Executive will pay dividends for future mailings as well, which is the main advantage over just cleaning up your exported Excel file before mailing. It's often best to do this during a slow period where employees are looking for more things to do, and you can even add some competition by awarding a prize to the person who looks up the largest number of customers. ==Choosing your Customer List== Now that your customer data is cleaned up, it's time to choose your mail recipients. If you plan to send to your entire customer base, you can simply export your Customer List report. By using the filters in a report, you can also narrow down your customer base to target a specific subset. Common mailing campaigns can include: * Customers of a certain Level (A, B, C, etc) * Customers from a specific region (only those who are local, or within the state) * Customers of a specific gender (for a Ladies Night event) Each of the above lists can be produced using the Customer report and the appropriate filters. If you would like to choose your mailing list based on past purchasing behaviour, the Top Customer report is a very powerful option. You can choose how many Top customers you want based on the selected filters, or just fill in a large number so that all customers matching the criteria are shown. Common Top Customer campaigns include: * Anyone who has made a purchase in a certain time frame (the last 6 months, year, etc) * Anyone with total Sales between $ and $ (leave the To field blank if you do not want a maximum limit) * Anyone who has made a purchase from a specific department/category/group/supplier (for special events or targeted sales) As with the regular Customer report, any combination of these filters can be used to get the exact customer list you want. ==Exporting to Excel== Once you have narrowed down your list, it is time to export it. This can be done easily by choosing the Export to Text file option on your chosen report. Please see [[Exporting Reports]] for steps on how this is done. ==Mailing== Once you have your customers in Excel, further cleanup will likely be required. Remove any customers with insufficient information, or fill it in if it is known. Depending on your campaign, different final steps may be needed. For a catalog mailing, you could just print your mailing labels and begin stuffing envelopes. If you are doing personalized invitations, you may need to do a mail merge in Word to create your customized letters. For an email list, you may be importing your list into an Automated Marketing System such as Act-On or Constant Contact. Whatever your final delivery method, targeting the correct customers using clean data will help improve your response rates, and in turn, improve your margin returns on mailing campaigns! 435 434 2011-09-20T16:19:50Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki =Mailing Lists= We are quickly approaching the holiday season, which generally means that mailing season is upon us.

It's often best to do this during a slow period where employees are looking for more things to do, and you can even add some competition by awarding a prize to the person who looks up the largest number of customers. ==Choosing your Customer List== Now that your customer data is cleaned up, it's time to choose your mail recipients. If you plan to send to your entire customer base, you can simply export your Customer List report. By using the filters in a report, you can also narrow down your customer base to target a specific subset. Common mailing campaigns can include: * Customers of a certain Level (A, B, C, etc) * Customers from a specific region (only those who are local, or within the state) * Customers of a specific gender (for a Ladies Night event) Each of the above lists can be produced using the Customer report and the appropriate filters. If you would like to choose your mailing list based on past purchasing behaviour, the Top Customer report is a very powerful option. You can choose how many Top customers you want based on the selected filters, or just fill in a large number so that all customers matching the criteria are shown. Common Top Customer campaigns include: * Anyone who has made a purchase in a certain time frame (the last 6 months, year, etc) * Anyone with total Sales between $ and $ (leave the To field blank if you do not want a maximum limit) * Anyone who has made a purchase from a specific department/category/group/supplier (for special events or targeted sales) As with the regular Customer report, any combination of these filters can be used to get the exact customer list you want. ==Exporting to Excel== Once you have narrowed down your list, it is time to export it. This can be done easily by choosing the Export to Text file option on your chosen report. Please see [[Exporting Reports]] for steps on how this is done. ==Mailing== Once you have your customers in Excel, further cleanup will likely be required. Remove any customers with insufficient information, or fill it in if it is known. Depending on your campaign, different final steps may be needed. For a catalog mailing, you could just print your mailing labels and begin stuffing envelopes. If you are doing personalized invitations, you may need to do a mail merge in Word to create your customized letters. For an email list, you may be importing your list into an Automated Marketing System such as Act-On or Constant Contact. Whatever your final delivery method, targeting the correct customers using clean data will help improve your response rates, and in turn, improve your margin returns on mailing campaigns! {{Category:Newsletters}} 438 437 2011-09-20T16:23:34Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki =Mailing Lists= We are quickly approaching the holiday season, which generally means that mailing season is upon us.

By default, this file is saved in C:\Executive, and this one is named Customer.txt. * Open MS Excel, and choose open. * Navigate to the directory the file is saved in, choose to view files of type 'text' at the bottom of the file selection box, then select and open the text file. This will open up a wizard for importing text files to Excel. ** On the first screen, make sure 'Delimited' is selected and click next. ** On the second screen, check the box beside 'Comma' and click next. ** On the final screen, make sure the default column data format is 'General'. ** Click Finish, and your customers should be exported and properly formatted for Excel. * You can then go through and sort/edit this spreadsheet however you'd like. Make sure to save it as an Excel file when you are finished, as it may try to re-save as a text file again. ==Access Exports== There is also the ability to export regular reports, by previewing them and choosing Export->Excel File. As this is an Access export to Excel, instead of an Executive specific CSV export, the file formatting is not controlled, and may need some editing. It's advised to use the Executive CSV Exports whenever possible.

Many stores choose to do at least one major inventory count per year, often in January following the busy holiday season. The following tips are compiled from frequently asked questions, so please feel free to send in any tips or questions that you would like to share! ==What is the best way to perform a full store count?== Generally the easiest way to count inventory is to do a freeze on incoming/outgoing stock, do a full count of the store, and resume normal receiving/selling only after the final reconciliation has been completed. This method allows those taking stock to only concentrate on a static amount of inventory, and not having to worry about factoring in sold/received/returned items can really simplify the process of looking over the Differences List. Although it may seem difficult to do the count when the store is closed and not allow inventory to be sold or received during that time, it can both speed up the inventory reconciliation process and make the final count more accurate. If you do choose to sell/receive/return items during an inventory count, the Differences List will likely be longer and more complicated to sort out. Running reports for Sales and PO Received during the dates of the stock taking will make it a bit easier to track down differences that may occur when an item was counted and later sold. ==Finishing a Reconciliation-Auto== The main steps to performing an Inventory Reconciliation-Auto are: * Go to Functions-Inventory Reconciliation-Auto (or Auto File if you are uploading from a handheld scanner) * Clear items from the existing Scanned Items List, as these are from the last count taken * Enter on hand items into the Scanned Items List (either by scanning, or typing the SKU manually) * Once all items are entered, press the Next button and choose to view the Differences list * Go through each item on the Differences List and re-check the count, to see whether the counted value is incorrect, or if the on hand number truly differs from the amount shown in Executive ** If you find any counting errors in the Differences List, go back to the Scanned Items List and correct them. ** Tip: Click in the SKU field on the Scanned Items list and press CTRL+F on your keyboard to allow searching, which can help you quickly find the SKU you want to update * Once all necessary recounts have been made, the remaining items on the Differences list are accepted, and you can move forward to the final reconciliation * After checking over the reconcile list to make sure everything looks correct, hit forward and choose to perform the Auto Reconciliation. The Scanned values will now be reconciled into Executive and become the new On Hand value ** Example: On the differences list ABC00123 has 2 Scanned, 3 On Hand, and -1 Differences. This means that 1 item may have been missed during scanning, or has been lost or moved since the last time it was counted. Since the Auto Reconcile always sets the new On Hand level to the Scanned level, finalizing the reconciliation would set the new On Hand level in Executive to 2 for item ABC00123 ==Stock Taking Methods== There are 3 common methods of entering the counted items: manually, with a wired barcode scanner (such as the Metrologic), or with a handheld scanner (such as the Hornet). Each method has pros and cons, so choosing the most effective way truly depends on your needs. ===Manual Counting=== Depending on your needs and how you take inventory, manual may be the best option because you could have a larger group of people counting, and do not need special hardware. A good way to do this is to assign each person specific cases or areas of the store, and print them a report with the presumed stock levels, which they can work from and verify/correct on paper and then enter afterwards. ===Barcode Scanner=== If you have a large amount of stock and less manpower, a barcode scanner hooked up to the computer may be an option to explore. You can then simply bring a tray over and scan each barcode into the system, reducing manual entry and allowing a pair of stock takers to cover a large store in less time then through manually entering. ===Handheld Scanner=== If you have a greater amount of inventory and only 1 designated stock taker, a handheld scanner may be worth the investment. Although this method requires expensive hardware and only one person can take stock at a time, it is an effective way to scan large quantities of items without needing to be near a computer, as you can upload the list when scanning is complete. ==Summary== Regardless of the method used to take stock, the easiest way is to count the inventory when no items are incoming/outgoing, and to do the counting efficiently and accurately so that the differences list can be completed and the reconciliation can be finalized. You never want to rush when taking inventory, but with a little bit of planning and finding the most efficient way based on your needs, Inventory Reconciliation can be relatively quick, easy, and pain free, while ensuring your inventory levels are accurate moving forward. 448 447 2011-12-27T18:20:22Z Executive 1 wikitext text/x-wiki Inventory reconciliation is generally done on a regular basis, with smaller counts being taken throughout the year.

Running reports for Sales and PO Received using a date filter during the time of the stock taking can make it easier to track down differences that may occur when an item was counted and later sold. ==Finishing a Reconciliation-Auto== The main steps to performing an Inventory Reconciliation-Auto are: * Go to Functions-Inventory Reconciliation-Auto (or Auto File if you are uploading from a handheld scanner) * Clear items from the existing Scanned Items List, as these are from the last count taken * Enter on hand items into the Scanned Items List (either by scanning, or typing the SKU manually) * Once all items are entered, press the Next button and choose to view the Differences list * Go through each item on the Differences List and re-check the count, to see whether the counted value is incorrect, or if the on hand number truly differs from the amount shown in Executive ** If you find any counting errors in the Differences List, go back to the Scanned Items List and correct them. ** Tip: Click in the SKU field on the Scanned Items list and press CTRL+F on your keyboard to allow searching, which can help you quickly find the SKU you want to update * Once all necessary recounts have been made, the remaining items on the Differences list are accepted, and you can move forward to the final reconciliation * After checking over the reconcile list to make sure everything looks correct, hit forward and choose to perform the Auto Reconciliation. The Scanned values will now be reconciled into Executive and become the new On Hand value ** Example: On the differences list ABC00123 has 2 Scanned, 3 On Hand, and -1 Differences. This means that 1 item may have been missed during scanning, or has been lost or moved since the last time it was counted. Since the Auto Reconcile always sets the new On Hand level to the Scanned level, finalizing the reconciliation would set the new On Hand level in Executive to 2 for item ABC00123 ==Stock Taking Methods== There are 3 common methods of entering the counted items: manually, with a wired barcode scanner (such as the Metrologic barcode scanner), or with a handheld scanner (such as the Hornet handheld scanner). Each method has pros and cons, so choosing the most effective way depends on your stock taking needs. ===Manual Counting=== Depending on your needs and how you take inventory, manual counting may be the best option because you could have a larger group of people counting, and do not need special hardware. A good way to do this is to assign each person specific cases or areas of the store, and print them a report with the presumed stock levels, which they can work from and verify/correct on paper and then enter into Executive's Scanned Items List afterwards. ===Barcode Scanner=== If you have a large amount of stock and less manpower, a barcode scanner hooked up to the computer may be an option to explore. You can then simply bring a tray over and scan each barcode into the system, reducing manual entry and allowing a pair of stock takers to cover a large store in less time then through manually entering. ===Handheld Scanner=== If you have a greater amount of inventory and only 1 designated stock taker, a handheld scanner may be worth the investment. Although this method requires expensive hardware and only one person can take stock at a time, it is an effective way to scan large quantities of items without needing to be near a computer, as you can upload the list when scanning is complete. ==Summary== Regardless of the method used to take stock, the easiest way is generally to count the inventory when no items are incoming/outgoing, and to do the counting efficiently and accurately so that the differences list can be completed and the reconciliation can be finalized. You never want to rush when taking inventory, but with a little bit of planning and finding the most efficient methods based on your needs, Inventory Reconciliation can be relatively quick, easy, and pain free, while ensuring your inventory levels are accurate moving forward.

To find the location of your ExecutiveData.mdb file, you can go to Maintenance-System-Link Data and find the ExecutiveData.mdb file path. [[File:Link Data.png]] Once you have found the file through My Computer, it is recommended to make a backup copy to work with, to ensure nothing happens to your live data file. This can be as simple as copying and pasting the ExecutiveData.mdb file and opening the copy. To access the tables in the ExecutiveData file, a full version of Microsoft Access is required, and must be a version capable of opening Access 2003 files. Once the file has been opened, you will be prompted to enter the database password. The ExecutiveData file is protected, and cannot be viewed without this password. {{note|This password is being provided for the purposes of Executive Jeweller clients to access their data and facilitate data extraction when moving to new systems.

If using a printer on a different port such as USB, the printer needs to be shared and mapped to the LPT1 port. Once mapped, it will now accept traffic from the LPT1 port. This error is caused by trying to send the print file directly to LPT1 when it is not available or disconnected. See [[Tags#Printer Mapping to USB|Printer Mapping to USB]] for more details. ===Error 53=== Error 53 - File not found. ====Tag Printing==== When using EXE tags, the print job is sent directly to the LPT1 port. If using a printer on a different port such as USB, the printer needs to be shared and mapped to the LPT1 port. Once mapped, it will now accept traffic from the LPT1 port. See [[Tags#Printer Mapping to USB|Printer Mapping to USB]] for more details. ====File Browser==== When trying to use the file browser to add images or link data paths, the workstation needs to have MemCpy.dll installed to use the file browse buttons. To fix this, copy [[File:MemCpy.dll]] and paste it in your C:/Windows/System32 folder. This will need to be done on all computers experiencing the issue. For 64 bit machines, put it in the C:/Windows/SysWOW64 folder as well. ===Error 75=== Error 75 - Path/File Access Error Tag Printing Path Issue, see [[Tags#Printer Mapping to USB|Printer Mapping to USB]] for more details. ===Error 76=== Error 76 - Path Not Found ====Opening Reports==== The reports startup is incorrect. Go to Maintenance->System->Store Setup and check the Reports Startup field. Refer to the following examples to correct the path. For custom installations, other paths may be required. =====2008 Version, 32 Bit Computer===== "C:\Program Files\Microsoft office\Office11\MSACCESS.EXE" /Runtime "C:\Executive\ExecutiveReports.mdb" /WrkGrp "C:\Executive\system.mdw" =====2008 Version, 64 Bit Computer===== "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft office\Office11\MSACCESS.EXE" /Runtime "C:\Executive\ExecutiveReports.mdb" /WrkGrp "C:\Executive\system.mdw" =====2007 Version, 32 Bit Computer===== "C:\Program Files\Microsoft office\Office11\MSACCESS.EXE" /Runtime "C:\Program Files\Executive\ExecutiveReports.mdb" /WrkGrp "C:\Program Files\Executive\system.mdw" =====2007 Version, 64 Bit Computer===== "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft office\Office11\MSACCESS.EXE" /Runtime "C:\Program Files\Executive\ExecutiveReports.mdb" /WrkGrp "C:\Program Files\Executive\system.mdw" ====Tag Printing==== Tag Printer Path Issue, see [[Tags#Printer Mapping to USB|Printer Mapping to USB]] for more details. ===Error 94=== Error 94 - Invalid Use of Null A required field has been left blank. If printing something customer related, check the customer profile and ensure that the Customer Type is not blank. If it is blank, set it to Retail and try printing again. ===Error 429=== Error 429: ActiveX component can't create object This error can occur if one of the components needed by the program is not registered correctly or is missing. It may point to a component of Access that has been modified, such as by installing Office 2007 over top of Access 2003 Runtime. Try the code below if it's believe to be a registry issue, if not, try using the [[Downloads#MS Access 2007 Runtime|Access 2007 Runtime]] instead as it may not have the same registry issues. {{code|regsvr32 scrrun.dll <br>regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO350.dll" <br>regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\DAO360.dll"}} ===Error 2001=== Error 2001 - The previous operation was cancelled The ReportsExportPath column is missing in the setup file. This error generally comes up when trying to open reports. Find a correct setup file on a workstation that doesn't have this error, and then replace problematic setup file to resolve the issue. ===Error 2046=== Error 2046 - The command or action 'save record' isn't available now. This is generally given after a message that a Job Bag is locked by a user/computer. To unlock the Job Bag, reopen and close it from that user/computer, then retry from the initial workstation. ===Error 2114=== Error 2114 - Error 2114: Microsoft Access doesn't support the format of the file "filename", so it can't load the picture. The Microsoft Graphic Filters are required to view images in MS Access. If the workstation doesn't have Microsoft Office installed, the Graphic Filters need to be installed manually, see [[Downloads#Graphic Filters|Downloads]] for more information. ===Error 3027=== Error 3027 - Cannot update. Database or object is read only. The file in use is being restricted to Read Only, but requires Read/Write permissions. Grant 'Everyone' Read/Write Access on this file (for example, ExecutiveReports.mdb), and reopen the file to ensure permissions are now correct. ===Error 3031=== Error 3031 - Not a Valid Password This error means that a file is not linked properly, a permissions issue may be preventing access, or a setup/data file being of the wrong version so the password is unable to open it. ===Error 3043=== Error 3043 - Disk or Network Error The network connection or drive mapping is not finding the data file on startup. Try going to Computer (My Computer in XP), locating the mapped network drive, and double clicking it. * If it connects without issue, try opening Executive again, as the connection should be restored * If it fails, the server may not be turned on or something may be preventing connection such as a permissions issue * If the mapped network drive isn't showing up, it will need to be remapped. See [[Mapping Network Drives]] for more information. Go to Maintenance->System->Link Data and ensure that the paths are all correct, as they must be pointing at valid files. ===Error 3044=== Error 3044 - Item isn't a valid path The network path is not finding the desired file. Refer to [[Errors#Error 3043|Error 3043]]. ===Error 3051=== Error 3051 - The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file (name). It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data. ====Compacting Data==== During data compacting, this means that the file is open on another workstation. Since compacting the data requires everyone to be out of the database, the other workstation must exit Executive before compacting the data. Log everyone off and try again. ====On Startup==== On startup, this error warns that permissions are not set up correctly. * Try logging onto Windows as Administrator. If the error doesn't appear, it is due to a user permissions issue. * Ensure that the local Executive folder allows full read/write access to Everyone. * Ensure that the server's shared folder allows full read/write access to Everyone for Executive files. For more information, see [[Mapping Network Drives#Sharing Server Folder|Mapping Network Drives]] ===Error 3075=== Error 3075 - Syntax error (name) in query expression ===Error 3086=== Error 3086 - Could not delete from specified tables When encountered during startup, it generally points to a permissions issue, refer to [[Downloads#Error 3043|Error 3043]]. Once everything is set up properly, relink the data and restart Executive. ===Error 3343=== Error 3343 - Unrecognized Database Format When opening Executive, this error warns that the database may be badly corrupted. Backup your file and compact it, to confirm the corruption. Restore from your latest clean backup, as the file likely cannot be repaired. This is typically caused when the Jet database engine was improperly shut down during the process of writing to disk, such as the program being shut down unexpectedly, power loss, or network loss. ==Other Issues== ===Desktop Shortcut not working=== If the desktop shortcut to open Executive isn't working, Right Click it and Click Properties. Find the Target field. May need to scroll left and right to read the entire thing. Compare it to the following paths and verify that the existing path is correct based on your setup. ====2008 Version, 32 Bit Computer==== "C:\Program Files\Microsoft office\Office11\MSACCESS.EXE" /Runtime "C:\Executive\Executive.mdb" /WrkGrp "C:\Executive\system.mdw" ====2008 Version, 64 Bit Computer==== "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft office\Office11\MSACCESS.EXE" /Runtime "C:\Executive\Executive.mdb" /WrkGrp "C:\Executive\system.mdw" ====2007 Version, 32 Bit Computer==== "C:\Program Files\Microsoft office\Office11\MSACCESS.EXE" /Runtime "C:\Program Files\Executive\Executive.mdb" /WrkGrp "C:\Program Files\Executive\system.mdw" ====2007 Version, 64 Bit Computer==== "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft office\Office11\MSACCESS.EXE" /Runtime "C:\Program Files\Executive\Executive.mdb" /WrkGrp "C:\Program Files\Executive\system.mdw" If you are unable to find the error on this page, you may want to refer to http://www.iasonline.com/john/pcsa/fixes.html for similar Access Error explanations.

Factory defaults appear to set it to Zebra, so new CLS621 models may need to go through the following procedure: 1 Turn Power Off 2 Press Mode/Repeat key and Power On 3 Do you want to reset this printer to factory settings? Yes (Pause) 4 Do you want to print current menu settings? No (Stop) 5 Do you want to change the menu settings? Yes (Pause) 6 Do you want to change Global Config Menu? No (Stop) 7 Do you want to change Page Setup Menu Items? No (Stop) 8 Do you want to change System Setup Menu Items? Yes (Pause) 9 For this section of questions, select Pause for the first 9 or so, until you come to Emulation Select (after Control Code). Choose Change Value (Stop) 10 First should be DMI, choose Next Item (Stop) 11 Next should be DM4, choose Select (Pause) 12 It should now restart the printer in Datamax DM4 emulation mode. This should reinstall the driver on Win7 computers (especially if you've already installed the main Citizen CLS621 driver (not the C or Z variation) 13 Test printing and ensure it does not put on the warning light when sending print jobs anymore. Contact support if troubles persist. ==Troubleshooting== ===Alignment Problems=== ====Label Gap Sensor==== The Label Gap Sensor is used to determine the length of each tag, and controls the advancement of tags. If printing or using the Form Feed button causes many tags to advance and an error signal is given, there may be an issue with the Label Gap Sensor alignment. To align the gap sensor, see page 40 of the [[File:CLP621 Manual.pdf|CLP621 Manual]] or the [http://www.citizen.co.uk/support/info/bc_faq_jm-calibrate.htm#callabel Citizen FAQ Site].

The minimum requirements for this are simply your server's hard drive, but it's recommended to have an external hard drive so that files can be redundantly backed up in case of failure in the main hard drive. The scripts below are all batch files, which can then be triggered by Windows Task Scheduler. To create a batch file, simply open Notepad, enter the script text, and when saving it, choose file type 'All' and then name the file with a .bat extension (such as ''dailybackup-execdata.bat''). These scripts can be extended to include image folders in monthly backups, front end and setup installations, or many other combinations, but just the basics are outlined below.
